Next Monday, the Los Angeles Rams are set to “host” the Kansas City Chiefs in an NFL game at Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca. However, the league is reportedly looking into moving the game back to LA because the field, quite frankly, looks like a case of hellfire diarrhea. 

Last May, the legendary stadium switched its pitch from natural grass to a hybrid surface, but with both Club America and Cruz Azul utilizing the Azteca, the grass has been a constant source of anxiety over the last few months.

We’re not gonna lie: We were really looking forward to watching Saturday’s Copa Libertadores final first leg between Buenos Aires rivals River Plate and Boca Juniors. But once you see these images, you’ll completely understand why the Superclásico matchup was postponed, with the Copa Libertadores makeup date scheduled for Sunday. 

Minnesota United will move into its new soccer-specific digs in Saint Paul to start the 2019 Major League Soccer season, and Allianz Field is looking spectacular alongside highway I-94. The pitch was just recently laid, and the seats, supporters’ section and mesh oval exterior give us a fantastic idea of the atmosphere that’ll reverberate around the 19,400-capacity stadium.
