JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The big announcement is expected Tuesday. But Joe Arfstrom can't wait that long so he has been scouring the internet for information.

NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell, will join Jaguars owner, Shahid Khan, on Tuesday in Jacksonville to make the official announcement. The Jaguars will play games in London over the next four years.

The news had everyone buzzing at sports bars on Monday night.

"I think that's great! I'm happy to see my new local team get the honor," says Mitch Berger, who recently relocated to Jacksonville.

During Action Sports on Friday night, Khan said that an announcement would be made in a matter of days. He recently returned from the Olympics in London. Taking the team overseas is also a win for Jacksonville.

"I think that will definitely help. People don't even know where Jacksonville, Florida is so you get them out there in London and on international TV -- that's going to help," says Arfstrom.

The official announcement will be made at 2 p.m. on Tuesday at the University Club in Jacksonville.
