Tour2ma Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Actually Mexico City would be an excellent choice. Cheap labor to build the stadium... Except network feeds of home games will get slapped with a 30% tariff... Azteca soccer stadium seats 87k... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opal312 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 If they do move and that's a big IF they should go to St. Louis! Those people had their team ripped right out in front of them! Roger Goodell is an A$$hole for doing that so LA could have a team. He's too stupid to remember the reason the Rams moved in the first place. As for Europe, I pity any team adjusting to time zones on a weekly basis. Europe watches Soccer, Cricket and Tennis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Goodell really had nothing to do with it. It was the other owners, particularly Jones who salivated over the money they think they could make from the LA market. Goodell is only following orders basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Actually Mexico City would be an excellent choice. Cheap labor to build the stadium and it would fill every week. Could make a hell-of-a contract with Univision for here in the U.S. for all the illegals that would tune in to watch their home team games and sell a lot of advertisement in Spanish to hit that huge market. We just need to convince the wall builder that this would make better business sense than sending them all back. Been telling my kids since they were little to learn Spanish if they wanted to be a part of the long term future of this country and that was before NAFTA. There is a huge untapped market to our south and smart business guys are catching on to it. I should send the Donald a copy of Doris Kearns Goodwin's "The Bully Pulpit". TR was way beyond his time on our neighbors to the south. He was just a bit heavy handed is all. Everytime the have an NFL game in Mexico is packed solid even exceeding capacity seating with people sitting in the asiles....a 100% no-no in the states but nobody really seems to stop them. Many Mexican fans are Cowboy fans but I think they can get around that, even many Arizona fans are old Cowboy fans. Now any other restrictions the NFL might have I'm not really sure but there is a market there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 From SI..... http://www.si.com/nfl/2015/08/07/nfl-mexico-international-series The National Football League will play five regular season games, one per season, in Mexico starting in 2017 or 2018, according to a report from AS.com. The NFL has yet to confirm the report. The NFL recently said it was looking to play more international games and looking at potential sites in Germany, Mexico and Brazil. Were taking steps in the right direction so that eventually, this platform (of sponsors) which we have reconstructed will enable us to talk directly to the NFL in New York about the possibility of staging games in Mexico, NFL Mexico Director Arturo Olivé said. It will be for five games, not three as originally proposed, Olivé said. According to the report, it will cost $15 million to stage NFL games in the country, with Olivé saying that it was improbable that Mexico Citys Azteca stadium or Olympic Stadium would be used to stage NFL games. Officials in Mexico have reportedly secured the necessary sponsorship money to cover the $15 million in organizational costs. The first regular season game ever to be held outside of the United States was played in 2005 at Azteca Stadium. The Arizona Cardinals beat the San Francisco 49ers 3114 in front of over 103,000 spectators. This season, there will be three international games, all in London: the Miami Dolphins take on the New York Jets on Oct. 4, the Buffalo Bills play the Jacksonville Jaguars on Oct. 25 and the Detroit Lions face Kansas City Chiefs on Nov. 1. Last month, the NFL and English Premier League squad Tottenham Hotspur agreed to a 10-year partnership allowing the NFL to play a minimum of two games each year at the teams new stadium.
