Roger Goodell says he wouldn't be surprised if a Super Bowl is played internationally

The NFL has moved numerous games to other countries, but an international Super Bowl has always seemed off limits.

The tone of that conversation is shifting though.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was asked about the possibility of a Super Bowl being played outside of the United States, and it sounded like a real possibility.

“We’ve always traditionally tried to play a Super Bowl in an NFL city — that was always sort of a reward for the cities that have NFL franchises,” Goodell said, via the Associated Press. “But things change. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if that happens one day.”

to hold a game in Canada. It's the same basic set of time zones, so you can have the same sort of all-day pregame nonsense, including the Puppy Bowl!
