they have a good point aswell,

Wait for The Whistle Policy
To ensure the enjoyment of all the action for Bills fans, Ralph Wilson Stadium enforces a "Wait for the Whistle" policy for fans returning to their seats during Bills games. Fans returning to their seats from the concourses are asked to stay behind the yellow line in the vomitory until the officials have halted play on the field, at which point fans are permitted to return to their seats.

Wembley gets nod to host NFL game
By Mihir Bose

Wembley fought off opposition from Twickenham and Germany
London will this autumn host the first regular season NFL game to be played outside North America, the NFL will announce on Tuesday.

The BBC understands the match will be played at the new Wembley, and that it will be a home game for Miami Dolphins, probably against the New York Giants.

The mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, was instrumental in securing the match ahead of four cities in Germany.

The date is yet to be confirmed, and announcements confirming Wembley as the venue and the teams will be made in a few weeks' time.

The Giants and the Dolphins have been chosen to showcase the NFL

The forthcoming game features two of the NFL's most high-profile teams, and could have a significant bearing on the race to reach the Super Bowl.

It will be played in its own time slot, around 1800 in London, rather than as part of the normal weekly group of matches.

The NFL hopes perhaps double the 60 million who watch an average match will tune in for this special occasion.

Securing the game is a coup for London - Toronto and Mexico City were keen to stage it, as well as Berlin, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf and Hamburg in Germany.

The game is part of an attempt by the NFL to raise its profile outside America.

The UK is no longer represented in its European offshoot, NFL Europe, following the demise of the Scottish Claymores in October 2004.

By contrast, Germany is home to five of the league's six current teams.

Mexico City's Aztec Stadium hosted the only regular season game to be staged outside of the US to date in October 2005, when 103,457 fans saw Arizona beat San Francisco.

I believe that Miami are going to be classed as the home team from watching last nights games. I might have to get tickets for this one but am not a season ticket holder at Wembley so not sure if I deserve a ticket :lolol:
