The Troll Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylc=X3oDMTBpZ2NvMjltBF9TAzk1ODYxMDU5BHNlYwN0aA--?slug=ap-nfl-mexico&prov=ap&type=lgns Report: Cardinals may play regular-season NFL game in Mexico vs 49ers March 15, 2005 NEW YORK (AP) -- The first NFL regular-season game outside the United States is expected to take place Oct. 2, when the Arizona Cardinals face San Francisco in Mexico City. The game is expected to be a Sunday night contest televised by ESPN. It would be a home game for the Cardinals, who rarely sell out their stadium but could draw 100,000 or more in Mexico City. ``We're working on it but it's not finalized yet,'' NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Tuesday. Commissioner Paul Tagliabue said at his annual pre-Super Bowl news conference that a regular-season game outside the U.S. was likely this year. Michael Bidwill, Cardinals vice president and general counsel, declined to discuss specifics but told The Arizona Republic that playing such a game is ``very unique and appealing prospect.'' ``It would be a historic and unprecedented event,'' Bidwill said.
