That would be too much of a disadvantage for them to travel over the pond 8-9 games a year. It would be an epic mistake on the NFL's part to let that happen. 

They'd always schedule two nearby road games back to back for them at a minimum. They'd fly over probably 3-4 times every year in the regular season

Things have come full circle....from the stadium that routinely covered up the top tier of seats because they were empty....to cough up the cash or we'll take our economic juggernaut someplace else.

 

Good powerplay and eventual execution though.

(1) Secure as many London games as possible

(2) Find a QB and make the playoffs

(3) ?

(4) Profit

I think the home advantage might make that worth it.  They could still have 2 Jacksonville "gold" games per year also

What's the per game economic impact from an NFL traveling and staying to play a game in Jacksonville/ any city?

8/ 9 regular seasin games + 1-2 preseason games + training camp joint practices.

100 hotel rooms + meals + transportation 

Basically nothing

The cost of the private jet difference from JAX to London.
