New England Patriots fans in Mexico City are fired up for today’s marquee matchup against the Oakland Raiders at Azteca stadium.
As revelers decked out in Pats and Raiders gear flooded the streets of Mexico’s capital city yesterday, Alexis Uribe, 30, a member of a Mexico City Patriots fan club, said the opportunity to see his favorite team play in his home country was “a dream.”
“The atmosphere in Mexico is incredible, the city is decorated in NFL everywhere and that’s amazing, considering Mexico is a country of soccer fans,” Uribe told the Herald in his native Spanish.
