Postcards from Down Under: How you know the NFL has truly arrived in Australia
Not only did the reluctant Rams finally land in Melbourne early Thursday morning, but it seems that in the past 24 hours, thousands of NFL fans have arrived as well.
Melbourne, Australia - The NFL has officially made its mark in Australia. A father and son, originally from Baltimore but now living in Perth and Brisbane, were decked out in Ravens gear, ready to watch the Seahawks-Patriots opener at Federation Square. They encouraged everyone to join in the celebration. Former Chronicle reporter Vic Tafur and the author also sought out the Seahawks game, finding it packed at the Imperial Pub, also known as the Imperial Pub.
Despite the poor start for the Seahawks, the cheers from the crowd were audible from a block away, even from a rooftop bar. The author and Tafur eventually found a gaming lounge with seating available on the smoking porch. An Australian Seahawks fan, wearing a Darnold jersey, was also present and inquired about another fan, who playfully responded about his fantasy league status. The NFL has certainly arrived in Australia.
