We don't watch much TV while we are in Mexico. The exception is the Super Bowl. The above article indicates just how popular the NFL is with the Mexicans. Monday Night Football will be played for the first time ever in Mexico City in November. ....JB

That would explain all the different NFL baseball style caps worn by many of the locals. Something I don't recall seeing during our trips their in the early 80s. And the few baseball style caps that I remember back then were mostly New York Yankee or LA Dodgers worn "forward".

And many of them are brought down by their NOB friends. I know I've brought many down over the years.

Anyone know the cost of the tickets? The Giants and Jets start at US 150.00 each.

If my math is correct, it's about $200 US to about $1,700. That's just plain nuts!

When it's the only game of its kind in town and there is huge demand, economics takes over.

No doubt that most of Mexico's wealth resides with the top small percentage. Despite this, there are lots of wealthy Mexicans.
