Before you go
- It is a Sunday night game. If you are visiting, staying in the south of the city — Coyoacán, Tlalpan or Periférico Sur — saves you a late-night cross-town ride after the game.
- The stadium sits 2,240 meters above sea level and November nights are cold. Arrive a day early if you are coming from sea level, stay hydrated and bring a jacket.
- Check the exact time on your ticket: the NFL schedules Sunday Night Football at 7:20 p.m. Mexico City time, and some outlets reported 7:15 p.m.
