It sure would benefit the league to see for Ex. Ravens vs Steelers (always great games) or 49ers vs Cow-Gurls.......

I don't think you could move a marquee matchup like Ravens-Steelers, Packers-Bears without creating more frustration with local fan bases than you can gain abroad. I could not imagine watching one of these matchups without a committed (hostile) crowd and while I think Europeans are continously underestimated concerning the knowledge and passion for the game it is hard for a Patriots or Vikings fan to commit themselves to that degree........
IMO The league will be better off for continuing the current AFC v NFC format but looking for more even matchups....

I agree but can you imagine if that stadium was filled to capacity with fans of both teams ie. Packers, Vikes, Ravens, Steelers, NINERS, Cowboys?
That would be an event.
Thing is though prob. only 1/3 would be the actual usa fans from those cities.
The rest would be Europeans so it would be much less raucous!
