Gas2No99 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Sources: 49ers To Play Rams In Regular-Season Game In China By Don Muret, Staff Writer The 49ers will play the Rams in a regular-season game in China in '18, according to sources. It will most likely serve as the Rams' home opener, although no date has been determined, sources said. In March, reports surfaced that the NFL wants to expand its international presence to China and that the Rams were one team selected to play there. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodelllater confirmed multiple teams had shown interest in playing in China. NFL VP/Communications Brian McCarthy said, “We have not announced the Rams’ opponent in the event we play a game there. We have said we are exploring playing a game there but nothing is definitive.” Any China game would be subject to league approval at an NFL owners meeting in October. Roto ReHash: SportsBusiness Daily reports the Rams and 49ers are likely to open the 2018 season in China. It was already believed that the Rams would be headed to the People's Republic in 2018, but now we have an opponent and timeframe. It's quite possible the game will be the first of the season, giving the teams extra time for what will be a monumental road trip/case of jet lag.

HessStation Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 How does that work for season ticket holders? Don't they pay up front? So do you get refunded or credit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Is the air quality over there even playable? I'm not sure I get this expansion for the NFL. Doesn't make much sense, well, except for greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
