Somebody didn't click the link provided in the first post.

Yes, they play American Football. They play in stadiums ranging from a few thousand to more than 50,000.

Looks like some of the schools even have better attendance than some of the G5 schools.




Obviously the idea of inviting them into an American league would be absurd though. The talent level in Mexico is terrible compared to the U.S. and very few Americans would be willing to go play in Mexico.

The NFL is thinking about adding Mexico City.

I think it'd be a huge mistake honestly. It's going to be hard to get players to go play in a country that doesn't speak english and has a reputation for violence.

Also not a great option, but Rio would be a better option. Similar time zone to the U.S. east coast, growing NFL popularity and a country noted for warm beaches, beautiful women, and great night life. I think that would be a much bigger draw (but still not a great one) for players than Mexico City.
