This is more of a general belief for NFL teams, including Cleveland. Each team in the NFL is now going to have to play an overseas game in London as the league signed a 10-year deal to keep games being played across the pond.

With the deal, NFL teams would be playing in a brand new stadium that would be ready in 2018. The Browns have yet to play in London, but with the deal that is signed, they are going to have to.

I am not against expanding the sport and the league, but what I do not like is that NFL teams lose a game in the United States, and for half of them, they lose home games in their own stadiums.

Those home games provide teams with so many benefits, including the obvious home-field advantage. For some teams, this may not be that big of a deal, but the Browns have years of history with an extremely loyal fan base.

It’s not right to lose a game, especially at home. The traveling aspect is also another major issue. If teams are playing in Europe, I wish the NFL would have done something more to benefit the teams in some way here in the USA.
