Believe It Or Not: American Football Is Twice As Nice Overseas

September 10, 2009 at 12:23 PM | by | Comments (0)

The professional football season kicks off tonight, if you’re looking for a little more excitement than an evening planted on the couch, you might want to consider a fall football getaway. For the third consecutive year American footballers are going to cross the pond to play a game at London’s Wembley Stadium. This year it’s the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New England Patriots battling it out and Virgin Vacations wants to help you get there.

If you’ve got some extra coin hanging around, this package is an excellent way to get rid of it. Packages start at $1899 and include round trip flights on Virgin Atlantic, transfers from the airport, and four nights of hotel fun in London. Of course you’ll also get two tickets to the big game on October 25 as well as access to some NFL fan festival thing. If price isn’t a problem, they’ll gladly upgrade you to the Diamond Package, where you’ll be rubbing elbows with the players’ wives on the 50 yard line.

Things will be a little pricier if you’re flying from outside the New York market, but Patriots and Bucs fans should do fine if they depart from the east coast. This package sounds like a winner, and kind of a deal, considering all you get. We just hope that the players won’t be too jet lagged from their long road trip. After all, our fantasy football team—Gisele Brady—needs all the points possible if we want to win office bragging rights.
