The NFL should expand to Mexico. I mean ****, they packed a 100k+ stadium for two teams they never heard of, playing a game they know nothing about.

yeah but can they charge a couple hundred dollars a ticket in mexico? sure operating costs would be lower, but not a ton, still gotta pay coaches and players the same. a one game spectacle is different then a season. But i certainly thing going international is something to consider

Tornto people are an hour and a half away from Buffalo. Plenty of them come down to those games.
