I think if I was there I would ignore the MLB promotional stuff (other than the game, of course) and spend my time exploring the city. Is this your first trip to London, or had you been there before? Just found this thread and your first sentence sounds about right to me. Maybe that wasn't how they expected it to be though. Again, how is this assessment being made? I do not have that sense at all after actually being here. No doubt Milwaukee or Cincinnati won't be asked to come to London anytime soon, and there of course was a sizeable US contingent but in no way do I get the sense that this was focused on US fans. There were tons of people there in gear from other teams (even including Tampa (!). This is a European-focused event first and foremost. Good to hear! I love that you are there
