So I suppose that it is a home game for LA?

[Shaid]

I'm a fan of it being an LA home game and not us losing one. The Chargers don't really have home games though, we're the home team when we go there anyways lately.

[O.city]

Ugh, that's actually another important game that we have to go thru that stupid shit for.

Fucking NFL and their money hungry shit.

[lawrenceRaider]

I hope it gets cancelled like the Raiders one from last year because a soccer game or some such crap ruined the field.

[ChiefBlueCFC]

Hopefully Mexico City and Azteca get their shit together this time

[Gravedigger]

Ugh, that's actually another important game that we have to go thru that stupid shit for.

****ing NFL and their money hungry shit.

At least it's one of our Away games and not a Home game played in London like a few years ago.

[Renegade]

I hope it gets cancelled like the Raiders one from last year because a soccer game or some such crap ruined the field.

I thought it was the Rams game that was moved. LA honored all the firefighters at their "home game". I don't believe the NFL cancelled any games

[O.city]

It was the Rams game.


And that pretty much assures the bye the week after so another thanksgiving bye?

[TribalElder]

Horse shit that we have to go back after last years aidsbomb

[chiefzilla1501]

Ugh, that's actually another important game that we have to go thru that stupid shit for.

****ing NFL and their money hungry shit.

I have zero problem this. Coming someone who despises London games.

We don't lose a home game. We stay in a reasonable time zone. And an LA team in Mexico makes a lot of sense, especially one with shitty home crowds like the chargers.

Just take care of the fucking field this time.

[Munson]

I hope it gets cancelled like the Raiders one from last year because a soccer game or some such crap ruined the field.

I'd almost bet money that the field is gonna look like a cow pasture again.

[Stinger]

I am going to miss having home field advantage at the Chargers soccer stadium.

[O.city]

Just take care of the ****ing field this time.

It's a division game between two of the best teams in the AFC, on a neutral field in a different country, at altitude.

Yeah, "zero problem". It's fucking stupid.

[notorious]

Let me guess: We go on the road the following week at Pats/at Houston/at Indy/at Baltimore.

[O.city]

It's a game that literally decided the #1 seed last year. But yeah, lets go to …..(checks notes)…..another country to play it.

[O.city]

Let me guess: We go on the road the following week at Pats/at Houston/at Indy/at Baltimore.

I'm guessing it'll be a week 12 bye for both after. Which isn't a bad thing IMO.

[Frazod]

Let me guess: We go on the road the following week at Pats/at Houston/at Indy/at Baltimore.

I don't like the idea of playing ANY game outside the country, but other than dealing with the altitude, which in this case won't give either team an unfair advantage, the distance from Kansas City to Mexico City is pretty much the same as the distance from Kansas City to Los Angeles. In fact, if you look at the three cities on a map, the locations almost form a perfect triangle. Shouldn't be any different than any other road game.

I do feel bad for the 15 Chargers season ticketholders, though.

[OKchiefs]

I don't care as long as we get some home prime time games. It seemed every prime time game last year was on the road.

[HC_Chief]

ROFL

I may take a road trip to see this game. CDMX is a great city...always a good time there!

[Mile High Mania]

Well, it's better than an overseas trip. It's not like the prep or travel time is going to be that much different than traveling to LA.

[Naptown Chief]

Well, it's better than an overseas trip. It's not like the prep or travel time is going to be that much different than traveling to LA.

Indeed. I'm also ok with it taking a home game away from the Chargers instead of us. As long as the field is presentable/safe then whatever

[ChiefsCountry]

Chargers as part of their agreement to move to Los Angeles, have to give up a home game each year for an international game.

[Shaid]

Well, it's better than an overseas trip. It's not like the prep or travel time is going to be that much different than traveling to LA.

That was my thinking. A bit more and it is international so that adds an element as well but could be worse.

[Shaid]

I didn't know that, for how long?

[displacedinMN]

start working on the grass now. It MAY be good for the game by then.

[TribalElder]

Any side bets on how many gringos go to mexico city to watch the game but then get murdered

[ptlyon]

If you never hear from them again, how would you know?

[TribalElder]

If you never hear from them again, how would you know?

I figure it would be reported when they get scraped up off the street

[ping2000]

All of Mexico's landscapers are up here now. Field is going to suck.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

They better not have any shitty soccer games for at least a month before the game

[saphojunkie]

All of Mexico's landscapers are up here now. Field is going to suck.

This is a really fresh, innovative joke.

[chiefzilla1501]

Yeah, "zero problem". It's ****ing stupid.

The chargers will deal with the same elements. They are traveling to play a neutral site game instead of staying for a home game playing in an environment they're familiar with. No, it doesn't bother me. If we're going to get thrown into an international game this is one I'm perfectly fine with.

Just take care of the fucking field this time.

[MMXcalibur]

I hate this.
No Chiefs game for me this year.

Fuck you, NFL.

[Pablo]

This is a really fresh, innovative joke.

There will be at least five posters who stop by and knee slap over that one though.

[Frazod]

There will be at least five posters who stop by and knee slap over that one though.

And at least a couple of gushing vaginas who'll squeal like bitches over it.

[ChiefsCountry]

I didn't know that, for how long?

Only vaginas get upset at racism, Frazod. Another excellent take.

I'll bet if the butt of the joke was a white guy who lived in a trailer, you'd laugh so hard that you'd accidentally bite your boyfriend's dick.

[Kiimo]

Reverse racism hot take with a side of homophobia is there a thread your idiocy can't shit up?

[ptlyon]

Can't we all just agree Philip Rivers is a pussy?

[Frosty]

Hopefully the NFL won't feel the need to move the game back to LA to make the firefighters feel better this year.

[Frazod]

PM me your address, you fucking cunt. I'll send you a box of tissues you can use to wipe away your tears.

[ptlyon]

Hopefully the NFL won't feel the need to move the game back to LA to make the firefighters feel better this year.

That would be funny. Two years, twice straight being moved back to LA.

Seems like karma. Book it.

[Kiimo]

PM me your address, you ****ing ****. I'll send you a box of tissues you can use to wipe away your tears.

Use them to wipe up the froth on the sides of your mouth

[Simply Red]

So I suppose that it is a home game for LA?

[Frazod]

As opposed to what you'll be wiping from the sides of yours.

[Kiimo]

Weak. And people wonder why Dane bailed on this place.

[Frazod]

Dane and I got along just fine, actually. Of course, he didn't go through life looking to be butthurt and offended by everything he saw, especially silly jokes.

[Bwana]

Uhhh fuck that. The field made the Raiders field look top notch in comparison, last year.

[007]

Why is everyone acting so surprised by this news. It's been coming knowledge for a couple months now.

[Skyy God]

Assuming Shakira doesn’t f up the field again.

[Frazod]

I bet there will be a shit ton more Chief fans there than Charger fans. Well, not so much Chief fans, but Mahomes fans.

God, it's nice to have league's No. 1 star on our side for once.

[chiefzilla1501]

Assuming Shakira doesn’t f up the field again.

I'd hope that both sides learned a lesson. I'd bet nfl will Jr all over the Mexican stadium officials to make sure not to fuck this up. And undoubtedly Mexico knows they fucked up based on how much money they lost. Mexico makes a shitload of money off of soccer so its still baffling that they fucked this up.

My only concern is that they groom this as a soccer field, not a field suitable for football. But id think the NFL has experience with that too since wembley was more than suitable for football.

[rabblerouser]

I hope it gets cancelled like the Raiders one from last year because a soccer game or some such crap ruined the field.

That was the Rams game, and it got moved because of the fires in LA, period.

They can't tell me that no one in Mexico City knows how to lay sod. That's where 90% of the sod-laying US population comes from.
