We are. In an effort to promote the NFL in Europe, the NFL has agreed to play several regular season games in Europe over the next 3 years. The first of those games (NY Giants v. Miami Dolphins) is scheduled for this Sunday at 5:00 p.m. When they announced last year that the game was to be played in London at Wembley Stadium, you could register your interest to buy tickets online. I did but held out little hope that we would be able to get tickets. I knew that just about every American within a 50 kilometer radius would be interested and in fact that was true. They had 500,000 people register for tickets. They had 3 different lotteries over the span of about 6 weeks. We were notified that we were eligible for the last lottery and I was able to secure 4 tickets. So we are going, along with 86,000 of our closest friends.
Interestingly enough, we received emails that there were some extra tickets available for the game. Apparently the NFL confiscated tickets that showed up on Ebay. I didn't know this but the contract with the NFL for these tickets is non-transferable. Meaning you can't sell these tickets. So they voided all the sales to the people who were offering the tickets on Ebay and resold the tickets.
We are in the endzone, look for us. We will be the Americans.

We all knew you were in the end zone as CBS focused on you four before and after almost every commercial. By the way, you all look great.
