McKenna optimistic Croker will host NFL game next year

“We are, indeed,” said McKenna. “The reaction to our bid document was positive. They’ve (the NFL) taken the view that in 2012 there will be one game in Wembley. We still see ourselves as being under consideration for 2013.”

The St Louis Rams and the New England Patriots will play a regular season fixture in London on October 28. Croke Park, along with Edinburgh’s Murrayfield, Munich’s Olympic Stadium and Frankfurt’s Commerzbank-Arena, has submitted a bid to hold a game next year.
