NFL.com wire reports
NEW YORK (March 15, 2005) -- 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.
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.
General Failure wrote:I think the idea is to build up the NFL fanbase in Mexico, not buff up the Mexican tourist trade.
