Saints going to Brazil?

I understand it's about growing your brand, but now you are taking away games from your own fans. Or was this the plan when they added a 17th game for the season?

Bingo!!! You nailed it there. That why talk is moving to 16 international games every year with every team playing one neutral site game. We're probably only three or four years from that being the norm. They are already to move to nine games by 2025.

Who knows, if they can eventual expand to an 18 game season they can have 32 international games per year. That means huge revenues.
