Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1161 - 1160: Football Temple

Imagine Brittany accusing them of taking Mahomes to a London bar, hands on hips like a teapot, fuming with rage.

A bit funny.

Though it shouldn’t be, it truly is somewhat funny.

Li Wei turned his head calmly to look out the window, as the lush greenery of Central Park gradually became fully visible from high above, his thoughts drifting between the clouds and the sky.

Now, the problem at hand is time; naturally, the solution is also time.

Time is the best answer.

Who knows, maybe Thalia’s trip to audition in Los Angeles will open a door to the world, and the dazzling, whimsical world of Hollywood will blind her eyes, and with a single turn, she’ll fall in love with someone else?

After all, that’s Hollywood, with a dizzying array of attractive men and women.

God, he hates Los Angeles—

Perfect, there’s a punching bag right here to vent some anger.

...

Wembley Stadium, hailed as the "football temple," is not only a sacred place in England but also in the hearts of football enthusiasts worldwide.

It was first built in 1923 and was reconstructed in 2007, becoming the iconic modern stadium we see now.

The newly rebuilt Wembley Stadium can hold 90,000 people and is still considered the largest sports stadium in the world, as well as one of the most significant and grand stadiums in football history.

Historically, Wembley has witnessed countless glorious moments, the most famous being England’s World Cup victory here in 1966, the only time modern football’s birthplace, England, has claimed the World Cup, which remains deeply engraved in the country’s football history.

The stadium’s two giant arches span the sky, symbolizing the shores of glory and dreams, becoming part of London’s skyline, and the dream stage for countless players.

Like Wimbledon is to tennis, Wembley is also a unique entity in the football world; the word "Wembley" itself bears symbolic meaning without needing any prefixes or suffixes.

Wembley is not only the home stadium of the England national team but also the fixed venue for the FA Cup final, hosting almost every year’s most exciting top events, from world-class matches to classic concerts and a variety of activities, carrying nearly a century’s worth of laughter, tears, and dreams.

For this reason, Wembley has far surpassed the mere meaning of a stadium. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

When people enter the stadium in reverence and awe, even if they are not fans, they can feel their own memories in the river of time, the moment that belongs to the nation, the instant that belongs to history, with a century’s change condensed in every corner of this stadium, stirring the soul.

Wembley symbolizes a stage, a dream, a time machine traversing through space, a sacred place bearing weight beyond time.

Even if not football, American football is the same.

As early as 1983, the NFL visited London and held regular season games between the St. Louis Rams and the Arizona Cardinals at Wembley.

Therefore, when Goodell took office and attempted to open the overseas market, London naturally came into view, with Wembley being the first choice.

In 2007, the NFL launched the International Series, and the first game landed at Wembley, where the New York Giants faced the Miami Dolphins.

Just right, that season, the New York Giants, led by Little Manning, created a miracle, defeating the New England Patriots, who had been undefeated in the regular season, to win the Super Bowl. The Giants, who had once shone at Wembley, successfully sparked curiosity and interest in American football across the British Isles.

Since then, the fan base for American football in England has continually expanded.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and the London Bowl has become the most important and grandest event at Wembley each year, with ticket sales more frantic and passionate than Beyoncé’s or Taylor Swift’s concerts. The attendance rate and viewership, including off-field football promotion activities, are all glowing, completing a beautiful first step for the NFL’s overseas expansion.

In fact, with the recent relocation of teams like the Los Angeles Rams, Los Angeles Chargers, and soon-to-be Las Vegas Raiders, the league is seriously considering expansion—

First, increase the number of regular season games.

Second, increase the number of playoff spots.

Third, add new teams, including the possibility of establishing an NFL team in London to ensure regular season games are frequently held there.

Of course, none of these tasks are simple or easy to achieve; but on the flip side, it shows that the profits and influence of the London Bowl are quite considerable, with a fan base exceeding expectations, which is why the league is considering establishing a team here.

This is also why Goodell specifically arranged for the Kansas City Chiefs to participate in this season’s London Bowl.

With the explosive growth of the American football market in England, they need the NFL’s current face, Li Wei, to promote the market transformation, continue to expand the influence of football, and ultimately achieve multi-faceted mutual success.

This year’s London Bowl’s attention has reached a new level, with the league tirelessly promoting it.

Unexpectedly, when the Kansas City Chiefs arrived in London, they became the only undefeated team in the league, elevating their three-peat momentum to the peak, with everything paving and setting the scene for the London Bowl—

A classic is brewing.

Goodell was overjoyed.

However, no matter how eloquent the discussions, these are just numbers and paper talk, always lacking in reality, and only by going to Wembley Stadium, by attending the London Bowl in person can the truth be seen.

Anticipation, anxiety, tension, excitement.

All sorts of emotions intertwined, unable to be simply expressed in a few words.

This is the first overseas game experience for this group of young players from the Kansas City Chiefs, and also the first time abroad for many players, everything is new. It is indeed hard to depict the scene solely by imagination.

After all, in England, football’s appeal is still unrivaled by any sport; and rugby here has a deeply rooted mass foundation, in their eyes, American football doesn’t have enough impact, appearing soft and fragile—

"A bit cute."

So, don’t be swayed by the media frenzy; the actual situation is unpredictable.

"Keep calm, this is Wembley, the football temple, we should remain composed; who knows, maybe some football fans will come to protest."

"Don’t worry, you’re not a professor, nobody’s coming just for you, you can be as calm as you want."

"Hahaha!"

Laughter and joking around, the atmosphere was lively.

Arriving at London Heathrow Airport, heading to the hotel, placing their luggage for a brief adjustment, the Kansas City Chiefs were already on their way to Wembley to acclimatize to the venue.

The jet lag had been fully adjusted, they were now completely in sync with London, ready to head to Wembley for a light warm-up and to get used to the weather—

London, a city where one can experience all four seasons in a single day, truly hard to imagine without experiencing it firsthand.

Then, the team bus slowly approached, and from a distance, the stadium could be seen.
