What I don't get is why KC would agree to play there, unless it's for money. Or do they not give teams a choice? It's not like the NFL is going to ever let them host a SB.
The Dolphins are Going to...GERMANY?

I was unaware of the bye choice after playing overseas, that would likely be week 10 which isn't too bad I guess. As to the choice of KC, I think there is some form of agreement between the NFL and the games played overseas, KC was awarded Germany and Mexico as part of this growth agreement.
Jacksonville is basically London's home team now.
So in 2023, we get NINE home and EIGHT road games right? And now one road game is neutral site, so just SEVEN games in hostile stadiums this year? Seems good to me, especially vs a team like the Chiefs! Normally it seems like it’s us losing the home field advantage on international games.

I recently moved from the West to the east coast. I absolutely can't stand that the nfl slate starts at 1 pm, as opposed to 10 am on the west. Not to mention the 10 pm primetime games out east, not just football but every sport. I'll gladly watch my fins at 9am, and still be blackout drunk at halftime.

We lost to Urban Meyer's Jaguars! Holy Cow!!!! Yeah, that's the checked-out Urban Meyer who let his team leave without him so he could go bang old Columbus flames after a Thursday night game. THAT team! Yuk!

How about if I'm in Arizona? It's a 7AM Game?
I'm in California and the International games usually kick off at 6:30 AM local time.

I might actually learn something today. Is there anywhere in the world that it can be 0930 in one time zone and 0700 in another?
Actually yes…there are a few half time zones. Even some that are 45 minutes off. Really weird…
Half Hour and 45-Minute Time Zones
While most time zones differ from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by a number of full hours, some time zones have 30-minute or 45-minute offsets.

I was referring prior to that. Been bouncing back and forth there since bout '10 and noticed it then. Also, in opposing stadiums, specifically in Foxborough there are a lot of UK and EU MIA fans that have shown up there over the years. The expansion is nice though, it puts some validity to the fact that our EU brethren supported the right team!Fins have a hedged bet to attract more European fans.
PRESS RELEASE: Miami Dolphins Granted Access to International Home Marketing Areas in Brazil, United Kingdom and Spain
Following ratification by the International Committee today, the NFL announced that the Miami Dolphins have been granted access to three International Home Marketing Areas (IHMA) across Brazil, United Kingdom and Spain. This ground-breaking, new initiativwww.miamidolphins.com
This is a huge game also. All things even, as both teams travel (albeit seeing the actual schedule yet) and a game on neutral ground. This is a big test. Wished it was a little earlier like the BAL game last year because winning those kinds of games really lights fires in teams.
