Steelers president says he would be disappointed if the NFL have games in Mexico and Germany soon
Art Rooney II the President of the Pittsburgh Steelers is on the NFL’s international committee and he feels he “would be disappointed” if the NFL wasn’t holding games in Germany and Mexico “within the next five years.”
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league would “evaluate” Germany, Mexico and Brazil as game sites. However, as Rooney told Steelers.com, Germany and Mexico are more likely to host a game before Brazil.
“Brazil is the one I would say is the newest discussion, and my guess is there will have to be a little longer lead time in developing that.”
The NFL will hold three regular season games in London in 2015, and are scheduled to have 5 next season. Overall, the league has scheduled 14 games in London since 2007.
