    I want to go as well, but a little afraid to go to Mexico City even though this could be the ideal time to go with so many people showing up just for the game. Would try to find out which hotel the teams would stay at.

    Does that mean our bye week would be week 12? Since this game is during Week 11?

    I doubt it since Mexico City isn't all that far as compared to London.

    With a quick google search I see that it's a shorter flight to Mexico city as compared to flying to Los Angeles.

    Unless you do something stupid or go someplace stupid, you'll be perfectly fine.

    Organized crime connoisseur, eh? LOLs. Could have been "Los Chapos"! :p

    *For whatever it's worth, I don't think I had ever heard the real translation of 'Raiders' to Spanish back in Mexico or while here. I think the direct translation is "asaltantes", of the verb "to raid." They definitely will have more fans than the "Texanos."
