    Default Mexico City field in horrible shape for Chiefs-Rams, moving game to L.A. is reportedly on the table

    If there's one thing that might be able to stop the offensive explosion that everyone's expecting between the Chiefs and Rams next week, it's the horrid condition of the field at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City.

    The playing surface is looking ugly, and apparently, the NFL is seriously concerned about the issue. According to NBC's Peter King, there's "significant worry" about the state of the unique hybrid surface, which is made up of a combination of grass and synthetic filler.

    The league is actually so concerned about the field situation that a crew will be checking things out on Monday and Tuesday to decide if anything needs to be done. According to ESPN.com, the game could potentially be moved to Los Angeles if the playing surface in Mexico City isn't up to NFL standards. A final decision is apparently expected at some point on Tuesday.

    Discussions continue about whether Monday night’s Chiefs-Rams game will be played in Mexico City, LA or postponed, per sources. NFL determined to play it Monday night in Mexico City, but the field is “a mess” and might not be safe for players. It’s a significant concern.

    That's what they get for exporting all of their landscaping jobs up North!

    That's funny. Sucks for Mexico City, that's a significant chunk of money if they move the game. What about people that made travel arrangements, etc?

    I'm sure the NFL figures out a way to have the game in Mexico City, it would certainly cost a lot more to move it elsewhere at this point.

    Well I'll be damned. Game moved to LA. The NFL should have to pay anyone that made travel plans back.

    Fat chance of that happening I think.

    They should have done what Bud Selig always did and move the game to "neutral" Milwaukee.
    I miss the old Mile High Stadium.
