I don't think its a bad idea, football is much more popular in Mexico than one may think. Bringing in 2 teams that are struggling in attendance could be a good risk IMO. There was an exhibition game in Mexico City in the 2001 preseason w/ the Raiders & the Cowboys. That seemed to do real well.™Last edited by urinal_cake; 03-15-2005, 04:05 PM. -
The Broncos would never do that. They sell out their games here.
On the other hand, the Cardinals dont. I see why the league wants to do this. When we played there in an America Bowl, it WAS a sell out.
I guess they figure all those people are moving north anyway, why not try to make them into Cardinal fans. joke people, joke!!Leave a comment:

LMAO! But I don't think this would really be good for the Cardinals, who down in Mexico cares about football, and especially the Cardinals? Hmm, I don't care, as long as the Broncos arent stupid and do that, this news doesn't have any interest to me.Originally posted by EddyMac87Leave a comment:

Mexico may host first regular season game...
Report: Cardinals may play regular-season NFL game in Mexico vs 49ers
March 15, 2005
NEW YORK (AP) -- The first NFL regular-season game outside the United States is expected to take place Oct. 2, when the Arizona Cardinals face San Francisco in Mexico City.
The game is expected to be a Sunday night contest televised by ESPN. It would be a home game for the Cardinals, who rarely sell out their stadium but could draw 100,000 or more in Mexico City.
``We're working on it but it's not finalized yet,'' NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Tuesday.
Commissioner Paul Tagliabue said at his annual pre-Super Bowl news conference that a regular-season game outside the U.S. was likely this year.
Michael Bidwill, Cardinals vice president and general counsel, declined to discuss specifics but told The Arizona Republic that playing such a game is ``very unique and appealing prospect.''
``It would be a historic and unprecedented event,'' Bidwill said.

- Anthems and Protests --- While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible. With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it. Thank you for understanding. --Broncos Country Message Board Staff
