Super Bowl in UK?

Jason La Canfora article about expanding the NFL internationally. But UK? Why don't they bring a team to a place where the fanbase is more solid like Canada or Mexico? Wouldn't it be nice to put nearly 100,000 people per game at Estadio Azteca?

Of course it would be awesome.

But I don’t think it will happen. Ever. Its such an American tradition, to take it out of the States.
When we had that 49ers vs Cardinals game some years ago, the crowd was sooo excited. A jerk from the NFL said it was ridiculous to have 100,000 cheering at everything and that it was a mistake to have a game here. Well, what that schmuck forgot is that we don’t have lots of NFL regular season games. Of course we were celebrating everything, we appreciated it and, to this day, it hasn’t happened again. Its so sad,in Mexico the NFL has a huge market and it kinda pisses me off to see the NFL taking games to the UK instead of here.
Recently, there have been rumors of having big events in Mexico, like Wrestlemania, UFC and more NFL games, but the Super Bowl? Never.
