    Raiders will play in Mexico!!!!!!!!!!!

    I live in Mexico city and here I hear some rumors that with the response of the fans last year in the Arizona vs SF game, the league is thinking about bring another regular season game to this city, and the team that is most mentioned is the Raiders, when the Raiders played vs Dallas here some years ago they have a great response and the Azteca Stadium was sold out, and now I here in some sports shows that the league and the Raiders are thinking about play a regular season game here in a near future, did someone hear something about this out of Mexico?

    I think that would be a great idea. Anything to expand the fan base and help folks in another country enjoy the greatest game on earth is an excellent idea.

    Agreed. I woulnt mind the Raiders playing in Mexico in the regular season, as long as it doesnt constitute one of OUR home games. Our home games should only be played in Oakland.

    The Giants will be playing the Fins this year on October 28, in London at Wembley Stadium, I Live in Ireland and i'm trying to get tickets but it's hard there are some competitions giving away tickets over here but you have to be over 18 to enter them and i'm 15 so it pretty damn hard!

    Hey Monkz, is there anticipation for the Giants dolphins games, cuz i heard around the media that it was a mistake since NFL Europe does poorly that the game might have a lot-a lot of empty seats? what's the word?

    I was in the Azteca stadium when the Cards vs SF game, and let me say something, if u have the oportunity to in a regular season game, do it is great, is totally different than a preseason game, some people pay 5 times the real value of the ticket but this expirence really amazing!!!!!!!!!

    beliveme the fan base here is huge, when the NFL come to Mexico no matter if is a preseason game this city go crazy, and when the Raiders vs Cowgirls game Im shocked because the number of Raiders fans in the stadium, I know that is hard to aprove by the fans that the Raiders play a home game here but this can be a good thing, before the Cards-SF game u cant found a Card fan but when the game is over the 95% of the stadium and specially the young fans was Cards fans, all the cards merchandise was sold out, imagine what can do the Raiders, one of the most popular teams in Mexico if this happends will be a dream come true!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I live in Germany and i watch the games on the English Sky network and they seem to be getting more involved with the NFL and those dophin cheerleaders doing their ads definitely helps. All i know is im planning to fly there along with a few of my military buddies. Plus all the Military in europe is excited about it so if the English dont buy them then we will

    Every year their are teams that are elimanated from the playoffs in the last week of the regular season. i would hate to see a team loose out on the playoffs because they didnt have home field advantage for one regular season game!

    In Mexico the 2 biggest teams are the Raiders and the Cowboys.

    What an AWFUL idea.

    The NFL would stick us there at the WORST time and against a tough opponent with there biggest Raider hating officiating crew to boot.

    The whole thing sounds like another screw job.

    Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.
