London to host 2007 regular-season game

(Jan. 16, 2007) -- London will be the venue for the first regular-season NFL game to be played outside North America, the National Football League announced.

The NFL will stage the first in its new series of international regular-season games in the United Kingdom's capital city in the fall of 2007. NFL owners voted in October to play up to two games outside the United States every year for the next five years, with the series kicking off with a single game in 2007.

[...]

More details about the London game -- including the venue and participating teams -- are expected to be confirmed during Super Bowl week (Jan. 29-Feb. 4) in South Florida.

The NFL staged its first regular-season game outside of the United States in 2005 when 103,467 people saw the Arizona Cardinals play the San Francisco 49ers in Mexico City on October 2 -- the largest crowd for a regular-season game in NFL history.

To be hosted at Wembley - what if Wembley isn't completed?

Twickenham was the other option but surely they won't be able to cock Wembley up more?
