This whole Mexico City field fiasco just shows the incompetence of those running the NFL. You are the biggest league in the Western world; you have all the leverage. In your (misguided) view to expand to a different country, you fail to realize that you hold all the leverage. If Azteca Stadium wants to host an NFL game, then NO EVENTS OF ANY KIND for a full month before the event! The Shakira concert was actually on October 11, but subsequent soccer games left the field unplayable. If those in power at Azteca don't like it, then you find another venue.
