Estadio Azteca Damaged [can game be played in Mexico City after earthquake?]

[IcyPatriot]

I couldn't care less about the stadium. Prayers out to the Mexican people. It was the anniversary of the quake in 85. Crazy. I don't even know about it but heard about it.

Absolutely already 44 dead and climbing - praying for all of them.

Wait...someone disagreed with this post? "Could care less" when you mean "couldn't" doesn't make sense.

Wasn't the one who disagreed but maybe he does care . . . at least a little.

Isn't it possible the story is true, the stadium actually did take some damage but the photo that was circulated is wrong?

I think there was an element of truth in the story but right now, I believe the league is looking at the big picture of the situation in Mexico City, not just the stadium itself.

If Kraft really wanted to stick it to Goodell, he could say he has safety concerns about the stadium. As an alternate neutral site that would easily sell out with Raider and Patriot fans that is close by, he could propose this.

It's officially a Raiders home game, neutral site doesn't apply. If it's not in Mexico City it'll be in Oakland.

If you guys watched more Libertadores, you'd know the truth

You should worry.

This is what I thought. Even if the stadium wasn't damaged, the surrounding area certainly was, pretty badly. I'll bet it doesn't go forward there.

Would have been nice if the team didn't have to make the trip to the third world

I wouldn't step into that city without my own food supply and Creasy watching my back

WTF, they've been to Oakland before. I'd much rather Mexico City. I've been to both. The latter is safer.

Haha.

I live near Oakland. Can't say I'd be upset to get to attend a bonus Pats game when I wasn't expecting to!

Right, good point. I know that the Raiders are temporary Oakland residents at this point but it still stinks for their fans that they lose out on their last 'home' opportunity to see Tom Brady since the game is in Mexico.

That's fair

Oakland is also third world

 

[PatriotsReign]

If the city is a mess and the players don't get their typical accommodations, they should cancel/relocate the game.

I hate the fact the NFL has any desire to have games played in other countries.

But it's all about greed

Wait...someone disagreed with this post? "Could care less" when you mean "couldn't" doesn't make sense.

Actually the proper term is "could not care any less"....not "couldn't".
