Clark Hunt always expected the Chiefs to play in Mexico City again, but he didn’t think it would happen just a year after sub-optimal field conditions forced a last-minute venue change to Los Angeles.
Nevertheless, the Chiefs’ CEO and chairman is pleased the organization will get the opportunity to play at Estadio Azteca against the Chargers in the upcoming season.
The Chiefs’ other excursion into Mexico came in 1990 against the Rams. They’ve also previously played a couple of times in Tokyo and once in England.
“That was not something I anticipated because I knew the teams that would be available, in the rotation to play there (in Mexico),” Hunt said at league meetings in Arizona.
