If someone wants a family day out at a game in the UK, then follow the oval ball game. No problems with violence at Rugby Union and League games (except on the pitch).
Personally, I think we are a long way form the Superbowl in London. I am a fan, and have been to the last two Wembley games, and am going to the next one.
However the next logical step is a London-based NFL franchise, and I suspect that is closer than you think. Once that is established, then surely that team can bid for the Superbowl along with all US-based teams.
So, whilst the SB in London is not impossible, it is a good while off yet. Quite rightly, too. I wouldn't want to see the Rugby Union Premiership game played in New York just to promote the sport over there - regular season games, fine, but not the showpiece.
