Dolphins ticketed for 2007 regular-season game in London
The Miami Dolphins don't have a head coach, but whoever it is will be coaching a regular-season game in Great Britain next season.
The Sports Xchange has learned that Miami will be the "home" team during the 2007 season for a game likely to be played in London's Wembley Stadium.
The Dolphins' opponent will be either the New York Giants or Buffalo Bills, but sources told the Sports Xchange the league is leaning toward the Giants. The official announcement naming London as the site is expected early next week, while the announcement of the two teams is planned for Super Bowl week in Miami.
Wembley Stadium has undergone a renovation and will seat 90,000 fans for the game. The famous stadium was the site of nine international preseason games from 1983-1993. The other option is 83,000-seat Twickenham Stadium.
Earlier this week, the NFL announced that six teams (Buffalo, Kansas City, Miami, New Orleans, San Francisco and Seattle) were being considered as the team that gives up a home game during the 2007 season with the site to be either Great Britain or Germany. Over the next 16 seasons, each of the league's 32 teams will participate in a regular season game outside the United States.
The only other such game was on Oct. 2, 2005 when Arizona played San Francisco in Mexico City.
