NFL Plans to Start Playing Games in Mexico in 2017

The games in London have been a huge success for the NFL, now they plan on moving to a little warmer area for some games in the next few seasons.

The NFL has actually already played a game in Mexico before. Back in 2005, the Arizona Cardinals took on the San Francisco 49ers. I believe it was Sunday night football and I remember watching it live. The crowd looked like it was capacity and I thought the NFL would be hosting more games in the future there.

Apparently the reason the NFL never hosted another game in Mexico is because the country was not financially stable enough to do so.  NFL Mexico started losing sponsorships and was down to three (with two soon expiring) in 2008, but that number has risen to 20 that endorse the league today.

Although the venue (or venues) for these games is unknown, the five-game platform appears set up, even, from the originally proposed slate of three games. If the Cowboys play one of these games in Mexico, I will do my best to go. Let's hope it happens.
