This weekend, for the first time ever, the NFL will hold a regular-season game outside of the USA. The San Francisco 49′ers will play the Arizon Cardinals on October 2 at 8:30pm EST. It will count as a home game for the Cardinals.
Mexico is the world’s second largest market for the NFL, after the US itself. The Estadio Azteca can hold over 100,000 people, and it is expected to be full, breaking the record for highest attendance of a regular season NFL game.
I think this is a great move by the NFL. Now since Mexico has so many fans of futbol americano, will we ever see a Mexican team join the NFL?
