The hallowed turf of Wembley, home of the English version of football. However, history will be made at the new 90,000-seater stadium on October 28th this year when tight end Jason Taylor and his Miami Dolphins tackle the New York Giants in an historic NFL game. Dolphins head coach Cam Cameron explains. SOUNDBITE: (English) "First of all, it's an honour to be asked to come and play, you know, the first regular season game played outside North America is a great honour and as you know, the Miami Dolphins has a tremendous tradition and we're excited to bring that over here to the UK. That's our approach, and I've also expressed to our players and fans that if we play the way we are capable, you can gain added home games at the end of the season. So that's our challenge." SUPERCAPTION: Cam Cameron, Miami Dolphins head coach. The NFL's Defensive Player of the Year last season, Taylor hopes the recently opened Wembley will be at capacity next season's week eight fixture. SOUNDBITE: (English) "We're hoping to fill it up (Wembley Stadium) with a lot more Dolphins fans than there are Giants fans and turn it into a home game - which it is for us in essence. We'll look forward to playing, it's an historical for the NFL to play a regular season game outside of the country and I think it will be big here in London and we look forward to it. It's going to be a good time, a good week." SUPERCAPTION: Jason Taylor, Miami Dolphins defensive end. With four Superbowl wins between them, the Dolphins and the Giants are perfect candidates to take the NFL to new markets - and try to imitate the now international appeal of the NBA and Major League Baseball.
