Rams to play in Mexico in 2018

[Psycho_X]

According to translating Spanish espn I guess. Better mileage than traveling to London I suppose. Just don't drink the water.

Road trip! Viva Mexico!

Hmm, Will it be considered another home game?

The elevation in Mexico City is over 7,000 ft. Denver is in the low 5,000s.

Will be interesting to see how McV preps for that if that’s where the game is.

¿Los Arietes?

Predicted this honestly, hopefully it counts as a road game against the Raiders.

 

[PressureD41]

My guess vs. Packers in Oct

 

[Mojo Ram]

Mexico > Europe

Fans will travel, no ridiculous travel for teams.

Seriously considering it. You know, start in TJ and drive on down weeeeeee!!! Might have to refresh my expired passport sigh.

Ungodly traffic, bad air quality, high crime rates, everyone speaking Spanish.....at least this will feel like a game in LA.

Why can't the NFL make London/Mexico games count as an away game for both teams? I'm sure they can figure out the scheduling. That way each team gets 8 home games. All fans should appreciate that.

I'm going!

Jeez

Does nobody read my posts :-(

Kevin Demoff stated that the Rams would be playing in Mexico in 2018 when he was at the Rams bar in London back in October.

Rams owe the NFL a home game in 2018 and 2019 as part of the relocation deal.

Because two other teams won't get 8 home games if they do that.

The NFL "could" make the season 17 games.

The extra game for each team could then be an International Series games.

However, I don't think we are at the stage where we could get 16 games hosted internationally.

However,
London 6 games
Mexico City 2 games
Toronto 2 games
Berlin / Munich 2 games
Vancouver 2 games
Dublin / Cardiff 2 games
Might work.....

As for the Rams, their home schedule consists of the Seahawks, 49ers, Cardinals, Packers, Vikings, Eagles, Chiefs and Chargers, and it wouldn't be shocking to see the Packers or Eagles sent to Mexico since neither team has ever played an international regular-season game.

Chargers would be cool
