They should put it in Cancun....not a long commute for teams in the AFC or NFC south.....ocean views , breathable air

the aur quality in mexico city is horrible and the city is arkund 7000 ft elevation

have fun

Not to mention almost no one in that city has enough money to pony up for a ticket to see an NFL game....any franchise located there would go bankrupt in nanoseconds.

Goodell is dreaming if he's thinking about expanding to Mexico City.

Lots of super rich in Mexico City, it's not evenly distributed but it's not Mexicali. I just saw tickets on line for MAROON 5,in Mexico City.... $310

That is pesos son....keep in mind one peso is about .05 USD.

That makes the cost about $15 USD....or about one days wages in Mexico.

I guess you missed this part of the article:

"The NFL played its first international regular-season game on October 2, 2005 when a crowd of 103,467 saw the Arizona Cardinals defeat the San Francisco 49ers 31-14 in Mexico City."

that's the largest crowd ever for an NFL game I believe, and it was more than 10 years ago.

You are a raider fan or something? hating to see your team leave?

F1 Mexican Grand Prix from last year drew record crowds, about 300,000 people on the 3 day event.. and yeah those F1 tickets are sure cheap. Poor mexicans they sure can afford an F1 ticket but won't be able to afford a ticket for that elite event called football.

Thats what Goodell saw... the fan base, the history, the F1 grand prix just made him go for it.
