Everytime Jonathan Kraft has been asked about playing overseas he said they love it (as long as it's not a home game). As tims4wins said it's a neutral field and it's a great chance for them to help expand their brand overseas.
Patriots to play in Mexico?
- Thread starter patoaflac
- Start date
And I'd highly recommend it. I went over there for the game in 2009. Interacting with the fans before the game was great.

Surprised Roger didn't want to piss off the Krafts even more and forcing them to lose a home game.
Roger probably scared of Jonathan at this point
You have an inside source as to the date? I can't find it anywhere.
Edit: I am seeing that it is being reported as a Sunday. And the hotel I've booked was highest on that weekend, so I'm not doubting you.

Crowd will be pro-Pats and possibly confused about what is happening, which is a big plus over having to face a hostile Raiders crowd.
Well, I live in Mexico. It is on mexican papers.

However, others are reporting it will be late afternoon.

I consider that, although in November it is not hot, the altitude and a 70 degree temperature is not optimal.
The reason hotels are more expensive is that on Monday, the Mexican revolution is celebrated and people from other parts of the country come to Mexico City.
