MELBOURNE, Sept 4 (Reuters) - When the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ersrun onto the Melbourne Cricket Ground in a week's time, they will be the final pieces in a giant logistical puzzle that the National Football League has plotted for nearly two years as part of a greater mission to convert the world to American football.
Standing over the whole circus is Jon Barker, the NFL's Global Event Operations and Production boss, who is across everything from turning Australia's premier sporting cathedral into an NFL stadium to moving hundreds of staff and tons of equipment around the globe.

墨尔本,9 月 4 日(路透社)——一周后,当洛杉矶公羊队和旧金山 49 人队踏上墨尔本板球场时,他们将成为美国国家橄榄球联盟 (NFL) 筹划近两年来精心策划的一项庞大后勤计划的最后一块拼图,这项计划旨在将全世界都变成美式橄榄球的天下。
统领整个项目的是美国国家橄榄球联盟 (NFL) 全球赛事运营和制作主管 Jon Barker,他负责从将澳大利亚首屈一指的体育场改造成 NFL 体育场到在全球范围内调动数百名员工和数吨设备等所有事务。
