An NFL franchise in Mexico! Something that doesn’t sound crazy at all.

An NFL franchise in Mexico! Something that doesn’t sound crazy at all. Ross Blacklock of the Houston Texans mentioned that he would like the team to play a regular season game in Mexico.

Because it is known to the NFL that this sport arouses great passion for Mexicans, and the NFL wishes to reach a broader audience worldwide.

The idea of having an NFL franchise in Mexico has become a dream for fans, managers, and politicians. This is not something new, but it is that over the years, it has gained more strength.

Made several activities with their fans, and linebacker and defensive tackle Ross Blacklock spoke to the press and mentioned that crossing borders with a franchise is not something that is very far away.

“It’s definitely not a crazy idea thinking about the proximity to the United States; it would definitely be a great idea. It would be very interesting to do all of this,” Garrett Wallow said, while his teammate backed up, “I agree with him.”

If it is possible to have a franchise in Mexico?

And while it is true that Mexico is the second largest market in the NFL outside the United States, the question always arises if it is possible to have a franchise in Mexico with the Azteca as its headquarters.

So, you have to analyze that although this is the golden dream of many, having an NFL franchise in Mexico can cause certain conflicts with the fans because although there are more than 80,000 fans, very few would be willing to pay more than 43 dollars for a game plus the Azteca is used every week for Liga MX and would not be in good condition for games. So, you have to think about infrastructure.

In addition to this, so that a visiting team is not at a disadvantage, it must train at least two weeks before in a field with a similar altitude; this is in the concept of adaptation to the climate. In addition to the political issues that require tax incentives, that have been much discussed in the United States and would be even more controversial in Mexico.

Ross Black wants a regular season game in Mexico

something that hadn’t happened since 2016 when the Texans faced the then-called Oakland Raiders at the Azteca Stadium.

“It would be fun to come and play either in Mexico City or Monterrey. 

It would help integration with fans, which is important.

 We are sure that everyone in Houston would be excited, and we would have many fans”, Black said.

For the team, the support of the Mexicans is significant, and it is something that Garret Wallow does not fail to mention, who is happy with the enthusiasm with which the fans receive this sport in the neighboring country, especially in Monterrey, where they had a clinic with children.

“It was a great experience meeting the little ones. Have a good time in the field. 

They show great support and are important at an international level. It was interesting to give them a role model and surprising to know that there are fans outside of the United States.”

The participation of the Mexican Roy López has motivated the fans and has made them turn their eyes to this sport.

“Every week seeing Mexican fans in the stands is incredible, and the best thing is that Roy López is a bridge for the team with the fans. It’s interesting to see all that growth. I definitely like the idea.”
