about the NFL & NFL tickets
The NFL consists of 32 teams that are divided into two conferences: the American Football Conference (AFC) and the
National Football Conference (NFC), each of which has three divisions. The NFL tickets season is played during the late summer,
through autumn, and into January. Professional teams play 4 exhibition games, followed by 16 regular-season games.
Teams play one game each week, using the time between games to recover, practice, and prepare for the next game.
Each team receives one week without a game, known as a bye, during the season. NFL tickets contd.
At the end of the regular season, each conference holds separate playoff games to determine the conference champion.
The top team in each division automatically qualifies for the conference playoffs and is ranked number one through
three based on its win-loss record. Three additional teams, called wild cards, also qualify for playoff berths based
on their win-loss record in the conference. NFL tickets contd. During the first round of the playoffs, the lowest-ranked wild-card team
plays the lowest-ranked division champion, while the other two wild-card teams play each other. The losers are
eliminated and the winner of each game advances to play one of the remaining division champions in the semifinals.
Semifinal winners advance to the conference finals, and the winner of that game is declared the conference champion. NFL tickets contd.
The Vince Lombardi Trophy Members of the Dallas Cowboys football team hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy after their
victory in Super Bowl XXX. Named in honour of former Green Bay Packers coach, Vince Lombardi, the sterling silver
trophy is awarded annually to the winners of the National Football League's championship. NFL tickets contd.
The Super Bowl is the final contest of the NFL's season. Held each January, it pits the AFC and NFC champions against
each other. The Super Bowl reaches hundreds of millions of viewers around the world. The first Super Bowl took place
in 1967, when there were actually two separate football leagues, the NFL and the American Football League (AFL).
In this game, the Green Bay Packers of the NFL defeated the Kansas City Chiefs of the AFL in what was called the
AFL-NFL World Championship Game. The game was renamed the Super Bowl in 1969. NFL tickets contd.
recruiting new players
Every April the NFL conducts its amateur draft, in which each team obtains the rights to the professional services
of the best college players. Any player who is three seasons out of high school qualifies for the NFL draft if that
player renounces college football eligibility by early January. To determine the draft order the NFL goes by the
win-loss records of the previous season, so that teams with poorer records draft earlier than those with better
records. The NFL draft consists of seven rounds. Those players not selected in the draft can be invited to try out
for a team and are sometimes signed to contracts as free agents. NFL tickets contd.
sometimes the teams relocate
The NFL is a big business for players, owners, advertisers, and other industries tied to the sport. NFL franchises
generate huge revenues for host cities, in addition to promoting civic pride and national exposure. Thus, cities
often compete for teams, offering prospective teams bigger and better stadiums, guaranteed fan support, and various
economic incentives. NFL tickets contd. In the 1980s three NFL teams relocated: the Oakland Raiders moved from Oakland, California,
to Los Angeles in 1982; the Colts moved from Baltimore, Maryland, to Indianapolis, Indiana, and became the Indianapolis
Colts in 1984; and the Cardinals moved from St. Louis, Missouri, to Phoenix, Arizona, and became the Phoenix Cardinals
in 1988 (later changed to Arizona Cardinals). NFL tickets contd. Several other moves occurred in the 1990s. In 1995 the Los Angeles Rams
became the St. Louis Rams when they moved from Los Angeles to St. Louis, and the Raiders returned to Oakland. The
Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore, Maryland, in 1996; the team was renamed the Baltimore Ravens. In 1997 the
Houston Oilers moved to Tennessee and became the Tennessee Titans. Other teams have agreed to stay in their home
cities only with the promise of new facilities. NFL tickets contd.
new teams into the NFL
New teams are periodically accepted into the NFL, and there is usually fierce competition among cities to be
selected as the home for a new team. In 1995 two of these expansion teams began play: the Carolina Panthers,
in Charlotte, North Carolina; and the Jacksonville Jaguars, in Jacksonville, Florida. A new Cleveland Browns
franchise began play in 1999. The next expansion was scheduled for 2002, when the Houston Texans will begin play. NFL tickets contd.
