At least they got that right.
Very fair

Mexico City field was a disaster and the game needed to be moved to a different neutral location.
Clap clap

Nice
It's the right move, at the same time

I'm surprised they did it. The last thing the NFL needed was for that field to get someone hurt.

awesome  
giantfan2000 : 11/13/2018 5:11 pm : link
too bad NFL doesn't have any money to fix the field
Thank God

Finally common sense in a league typically devoid of it
Is this an excuse  
Pete in MD : 11/13/2018 6:58 pm : link
for less than expected ticket sales?
same difference

That... is a great question. Wouldn’t doubt it with the political climate

How in the hell are they just finding out about the stadium being unfit for play a week before the game was supposed to happen?

I believe I read there was a concert there on the 11th that destroyed the field.

And soccer games too I believe. I’m kinda surprised they didn’t install field turf since if it was successful the nfl would milk that cow dry
In soccer,

it’s usually preferred not to play on artificial turf. You probably see it in the US more than anywhere else. Since Azteca is home to at least two club teams and their national team, they would never put turf down. It doesn’t always make sense to me when you see so many poorly-maintained soccer fields but many say artificial turf changes the game too much.

I saw the Cruz Azul game while at a restaurant and couldn't believe the condition of the field for that game. I play pickup soccer on better fields than that.
Gotta tell ya,

I live in L.A., and I might see if there are tickets for the game and try to talk my wife and daughter into coming with me. (Fat chance.) I figure it should be a helluva night, and MNF starts pretty early, L.A. time.
Excuse me, but this cannot be true

Mike Francesa assured his audience that the game wouldn't be moved. He said to count on it not being moved.


Are you saying Mike Francesa is wrong!?!?

That's pretty much exactly how the timing works when a field is damaged beyond repair. If it had happened sooner, they would have fixed it. It's not really that complicated.
So,

Now is it not a must-see television event since it's not being played in Mexico?
Wonder how the fans that

paid to go to Mexico and bought tickets will be compensated if at all.

The NFL will take good care of them. They're going to be offered the opportunity to buy PSL's in the new LA stadium.
