When the Arizona Cardinals take on the San Francisco 49ers Sunday night at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Mexico (ESPN/ESPN Deportes, 8:30 PM ET), the game will be an NFL first -- the first time that a regular-season contest is played outside the United States. Estadio Azteca is the venue in which the largest attendance in NFL history was recorded – 112,376 fans on August 15, 1994 in a preseason game when Houston topped Dallas 6-0. The stadium has since been reconfigured and holds 85,000. American football has been played in Mexico since 1890 when a game was played in Xalapa, Veracruz. Mexico has the most NFL fans outside of the United States. The historic game will be celebrated in many ways in the NFL this weekend. Every NFL player will wear a “Fútbol Americano” decal on his helmet. Special “Fútbol Americano” banners will be hung at all NFL stadiums. NFL Network will air themed programming leading up to the game. A first-ever NFL Spanish-language youth-football PSA featuring Kansas City tight end TONY GONZALEZ and Pro Football Hall of Famer ANTHONY MUÑOZ will debut this weekend. And many teams are conducting Hispanic fan promotions during Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15-October 15).
