After raucous weekend, NFL will likely be back in Mexico

MEXICO CITY (AP) – Mexican fans welcomed the NFL in raucous fashion, and it probably won’t be the last time Azteca Stadium hosts American futbol.

Next time, however, they’ll try to ban laser pointers.

Nearly 80,000 fans came to see the Raiders defeat the Houston Texans in a 27-20 win Monday night in what felt like a Raiders home game.

The crowd harassed the Texans and supported the Raiders , one of the most popular NFL teams in Mexico.

The success of the game and the full weekend of events could entice the league to bring more games to the Mexican capital.
