Bill host the stealers - go bills to take us to 4-1

But the big game is surely the early kick off as packers giants at spurs as the last of the NFL sides to play on these shores finally makes its London debut as the packers are finally here.

Given their unique ownership structure many thought it would be impossible to get them to come but here they are.

All 32 sides to have played here is an incredible feat really.

Nice yes should be a great game as well as both in form with 3-1 records

And in Brian dabol giants have an adventurous young head coach ( he was our offence co-ordinator and he likes to go for it)
 
Was looking to go to this, but for some reason they have hiked the prices (cheapest £62?). Wembley is easier to get to (and cheaper!) so going to see the Jags v Broncos instead .....
 
For those that may not know the packers are unique in American sport really as they are owned by the fans. - so to give up a game on US soil most thought impossible but here they are.

The Packers have been a publicly owned, non-profit corporation since August 18, 1923. The corporation currently has approximately 537,460 stockholders, who collectively own approximately 5,200,000 shares of stock following the sixth stock sale in 2021.
 
As for getting to see them at home…,

Obtaining tickets to a Green Bay Packers game at Lambeau Field can be quite the challenge. With a waiting list of over 130,000 people, Packers season tickets are reserved for the elite fans who come from generations of Packers fandom.

More than 99% of the Packers' 38,000 season ticket holders renew their seats every year, which results in about 70-100 new ticket buyers. The team has a waiting list of 140,000 for 81,441-seat Lambeau Field, which means a long time on the list.

The waitlist to get Packers season tickets has become legendary, as the team has sold out its season tickets at Lambeau every year since 1960. As it currently stands, the waiting list for season tickets is over 130,000 names long, with an approximate waiting time of up to 30 years after putting your name on the list.28 Oct 2019

If the fans own the team, who do they moan about?
 
I never realised that

This is the first time London has hosted a game with two sides with winning records.

3-1
 
The last time I came here we were low down in the FA Cup. Now I am high. Its a great stadium but when you spend a billion building it I can't believe they didn't put escalators in. The step climb is loooong.
 
You thought our VAR was bad. They have just taken about 5 mins to decide whether a ball was caught inbounds. Still another opportunity to get a hot dog.
