Not so far as I know. It hasn’t been stated in the media if the Dolphins consented to it or not but Huizenga said the team was proud to be part of such a historic occasion. Who knows if that is the team’s true feelings. Do you really want to spend travel sixteen hours flying(not to mention all the other inconveniences of traveling today) to play a three hour ‘home’ game?

Miami season ticket holders if they want to see the game must pick up the tickets in London. No selling them if they want. I said fans were being screwed months ago. Now with the team 0-7, let London have them the game, right? LOL but I’m a masochist aren’t I?

Cheers,

Bill

Did the Dolphins have any say in the matter?

I guess the Chargers are just being treated the same way. Not that the Dolphins would be any better off playing the Giants in Miami, Timbuktu or my wife’s hometown of Tacloban if the game was played there either.

Cheers,

Bill
