The issue is that soccer games and concerts have left the field a mess. The teams are aware of the situation, and the NFLPA is concerned and has been monitoring it closely.

NFL officials are expected to convene at the stadium Tuesday in a meeting that was previously scheduled to examine the playing surface and make a final decision about whether the game can and will be played there, sources said. If it is not, the game would be moved to Los Angeles.

What are the odds they move the game?

It would be nice if they did.

I wonder if it wouldn’t be better for the Rams if they did play in Mexico City. Give them a chance to get away from all the current distractions in SoCal.

Of course, it wouldn’t be better if the field conditions in Mexico City are conducive to injuries.

The NFL is a collection of billionaires they could easily completely rebuild any field anywhere in that time. They are concerned it may cost them a 1/10th of a penny.
