Azteca Stadium conditions are "worrying", the NFL could postpone the Chiefs-Rams report and transfer it to L.A.

The heads and rams game scheduled for Monday night in the 11th week is one of the NFL's 2018 calendar gems, with two powerful fouls – the match opened with a historic record high of 64 points – and two top-ranked playoff teams face each other in the international setting of Azteca Field in Mexico City during a match in primetime and autonomous.

A problem: the field is an absolute disaster right now in Mexico. Photos of Stadium Azteca's playing surface have appeared and, man, is this really ugly inside the stadium?

Several reports have already been published on the NFL's concerns and the teams involved on the playing field. Tuesday morning, discussions began to spread about the possibility that the NFL moves the game to Los Angeles.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPNHowever, the league is "determined" to play the game in Mexico, probably because of the importance of international growth of the game, from a financial point of view to the league. Integrating a large footprint in Mexico is an important part of the league's long-term growth plan, and presenting Patrick Mahomes against Jared Goff would go a long way to achieving that goal.

But there are still options on the table for this confrontation, reports Schefter, with the passage to L.A. a possibility or even the possibility of a postponement. The Rams and Chiefs are not counted in the 12th week. It is therefore conceivable that the teams will take their leave this week and then play in Mexico City in Week 12, which would give the Stadium Azteca stadium team another week to prepare. The logistics of this would be extremely painful for both teams; The Rams are training in Colorado Springs this week to adapt to the altitude. The modification of the plans would therefore involve one or two additional steps.

Discussions are ongoing as to whether the Monday night Chiefs-Rams game will be played in Mexico City, LA or postponed, by source. The NFL is determined to play Monday night in Mexico City, but the pitch is a "mess" and may not be safe for players. This is an important concern.

However, security is a real concern. We are talking about the two NFL teams with two losses combined. Many people would choose a Super Bowl Chiefs-Rams today when they did it. Bring Mahomes, Goff, Todd Gurley, Kareem Hunt, Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, Brandin Cooks and Robert Woods – just to name a few offensive players – threatened with health just to play a game in Mexico. Sit back with fans or organizations that employ these players.

Here is an idea of ​​the movement proposed by the excellent Amy Trask on Twitter: move the game to LA and use it as a way to generate donations, both monetary and in terms of objects, for people affected by forest fires in California.

In case of doubt about the security on the field at the Estadio Azteca, the game should not be played – move it to Los Angeles, give the product to support the victims and those who fight the fires, ask the participants to bring clothes and other gifts to those who have lost everything.

Many procedural and logistical things are set up to move a game like this. It's not just 106 guys and two coaches who show up to play football. There are broadcast concerns, families, fans and a host of issues of concern.

And it's probably too early to tell Tuesday morning what the NFL will do – I spoke to Jason La Canfora for the Pick Six podcast that will be released Wednesday, and he said it would be up to the staff to the league and clubs that go early this week to make a decision regarding the playing conditions on the grass field.

So there is still some way to go in deciding what the chiefs and rams will do. But that's an absolute concern right now and one thing that the NFL could possibly change if the pitch was not safe enough for young high-score teams to play.
