With football season starting last week, NFL China brings back NFL Home Field for the second year, providing a home base for fans of America's favorite sport across Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing for nine straight weeks. Over 100,000 people attended last year's debut which culminated with University Bowl VI and a visit by legendary quarterback Joe Montana.
This year's edition promises to be even bigger, mixing interactive family friendly activities, on-site clinics and exhibitions by local teams in the nascent American Football League of China (AFLC) including opening week games between the Hong Kong Warhawks and the Guangzhou Apaches, as well as the Hong Kong Cobras taking on the Guangzhou Goats. Week Two features a showdown for Guangzhou supremacy between the Apaches and the Warhawks.
Each week will feature open flag football clinics and Nike Pro Training Sessions, a high-intensity, bootcamp-style training session open to the public. Kids between 6 and 12 can compete each week in the Punt, Pass & Kick Competition with weekly winners getting a chance to compete in the City Final during City Championship weekend on November 16.
// NFL Home Field: Sep 13, 1.30-8.30pm, free entry. No. 10 Sports Park, Pazhou East District, Zhujiang Xincheng, Tianhe District. Every Sunday until November 16 except Saturday, September 27.
