[GKJ]

Rumors swirling that the Vikings will be in the Europe for two weeks in October, both AFC North road games. Browns in London in Week 4 and Steelers in Dublin in Week 5.

Rumor almost had it

Vikings now rumored to be in Detroit either SNF or MNF week 1 and in LA against the Chargers on either Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Not exactly easy travel for a short week game.

They went to LA to play the Rams on TNF last year so it wouldn't exactly be surprising.

Can someone explain to me why people act like the schedule release is some massive event

Two networks are running 3-hour prime time specials, it will be the most watched thing between the draft and preseason.

Yeah I don’t understand why though

Because the NFL can do anything it wants

Sure, what I don’t understand is why people tune in

I imagine it's for people like me who might plan a trip depending on the date. Several years back it was the once every 8 years that the Chargers played at Lambeau. So my friends and I thought about going if it was a September/October game.

I like to do silly sports trips in September/October since that'll be the short overlap where I could see baseball/football/hockey in one stop. I haven't been as into the Chargers since they left town, but if they happened to play at the Cowboys, Giants, or Raiders in September/October, that might affect my vacation plans. I've been gradually knocking off every MLB park, I finally did Minnesota a couple seasons ago and it worked out where I saw a Twins game and Chargers@Vikings the same weekend.
