NFL Considering Holding Games at Notre Dame and Alabama

So South Bend and Tuscaloosa are shit holes equal to Mexico in the NFL eyes?

Curious why they wouldn't pick schools within bigger cities

Mexico is an attempt to grow the game to a new audience.



If you're a Bear, Colt, Lion, Bengal or Browns fan living in, or near South Bend, you're going to games if you want to already.


And yeah, all three are shitholes in their own way. In Tuscaloosa's defense, I've only been there in winter. Foliage can hide a lot of shit. Or Atleast break it up to the average untrained eye.

Idk. Folks here really have a hard time caring about anything that isn't CFB. Alabama is hell on pro sports. Shit! We've got a heavyweight champion here and many don't seem to realize it.

In Alabama residents defense — Boxing has lost all appeal with the growth of the UFC. So not knowing who Wilder is, isn’t a big deal.

I still think any college stadium in a big football city would sell out quickly, as it isn’t something you will have a chance to go to normally. On top of local residents buying tickets, you’d have team fans willing to travel somewhere new for the experience too.
