Rams halt sales for London game - ingles
The NFL is continuing a temporary postponement of ticket sales for the Rams' Oct. 28 game against New England at Wembley Stadium in London.
According to the NFLUK website, the reason for the postponement "is to allow the Rams and their stadium authority time to finalise the technical amendments to the lease required under the terms of the Rams' commitment to London."
As the Convention and Visitors Commission pointed out in a statement released a week ago, the current stadium lease at the Edward Jones Dome does not allow the Rams to play regular-season games anywhere but in the dome.
On Friday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the game in London would be played in 2012, indicating that another team would replace the Rams if they can't resolve their lease issues on the matter. Jacksonville owner Shahid Khan, who unsuccessfully bid to purchase the Rams in 2010, said the Jaguars would be interested in playing in London if the Rams couldn't participate in the game.
A league official told the Post-Dispatch on Friday there was no specific timetable on when the NFL needed to know whether the Rams would play in London. The official said the league was optimistic the issue would be resolved very soon.
