The Indianapolis Colts defeated the Washington Commanders 30-13 in the NFL's London series opener on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The game's attendance was 60,907, below expectations due to high ticket prices and a recent increase in costs for NFL games in the UK. Fans expressed frustration over double pricing after the NFL slashed ticket prices just before the game, pricing out many long-term supporters. The league has scheduled a record nine regular-season games abroad this season, raising questions about market saturation as larger sections remain unsold for upcoming matches.
