The Highest Kickoff


Tonight's MNF game between the Raiders and Texans in Mexico City is all about growing the Hispanic fan base. The 22 million NFL fans in the Mexico City area make up the league's 7th largest fan base. The 76,000 tickets for the game were sold out within one hour.

The league makes its first appearance there since 2005, in spite of the concerns about street crime, smog and playing at the high altitude of 7,500 feet.

If things go well, more games will be considered. One of the biggest issues is that one team will lose a home contest.

The Pats have traveled to England to play, but only as the visiting team.
