New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has reportedly raised with NFL leadership the possibility of the league playing a regular-season game in Scotland. According to multiple outlets, Kraft discussed the idea with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in a recent conversation, prompted by the experience of Scotland’s “Tartan Army” supporters being in Boston during this year’s World Cup group stage. Reports say the NFL has held games in other countries internationally, but Scotland has not hosted an NFL game to date. The Boston Globe is cited by one outlet as saying Kraft conveyed his interest to the commissioner and is urging the league to consider Scotland as a future venue. Other coverage describes the same proposal, noting that Kraft’s interest comes after the prominent presence of Scottish fans in Boston. The reports do not indicate whether the NFL has agreed to the request or when, or if, a Scotland game would be scheduled, but they characterize the outreach as an initial pitch to league officials.
