pettie4sox Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Yeah, I don't think this will work unless there is massive investment in security measures. Even then, it's probably a long shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I can't see a Mexican team being able to pull in enough dollars to compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claydude14 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Montreal before Mexico IMO. Maybe an NFL team goes south first since they are obsessed with globalizing the sport, makes more sense than London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 29 million people more or less in Mexico City. Otoh, A Man Apart, drug cartels, kidnappings, visa issues, border crossings, tax complications, difficulties of recruiting non Hispanic free agents.

Even then, it's probably a long shot. I agree. A friend of mine does a lot of business in Mexico City. In fact, he lived there for several years. It would be a security nightmare. All the people he deals with have money and several bodyguards. Several years ago, they threw out a Mexican city as a possible new home for the Expos. He told me it would never work. I believe him.

Bob Sacamano Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 More likely a team would move to a big market city in Canada before going to Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
