I would have to say Mexico City.

Truth is the most people ever to watch an NFL game is 126,000 at Aztec stadium in Mexico City. NFL is huge there and LA has lost 2 teams already for non-support.Adding 2 non US cities to the NFL is the next logical step.

I agree, it should be Mexico City. I even have a name! The Conquistadores.

First things first, American style football wasn't invented by an American. So any narrowminded egoists who think the NFL shouldn't go outside of the country just because football is an "American" sport are kidding themselves.
Secondly, the NFL shouldn't leave the country before cities like LA, Las Vegas, San Antonio or Louiseville get them. After that, then I'd say Toronto first, because they've shown they can have success in other sport franchises. (The Raptors have finally sold out all of their season ticks for this year, the Blue Jays aren't going anywhere anytime soon.)
So, once the NFL gives needing American cities teams, even if because its more cost effective than internation travel, then I think Toronto and Mexico City would be the only likely cities. Tapping into those huge international markets would be a big plus for the NFL.

If Canada would take an NFL team then Toronto is the most logical(take into mind travel and other costs). After Canada then Mexico would be the next logical choice, and at that end Mexico City would be the most likely. I do think that a few Canadian cities would make more sense though.

NONE!!! No foreign city should get a team because for one football is an AMERICAN sport. Also the traveling cost to go to any foreign place would be outrages. The NFL is having a game in China within the next 2 years which means that 2 teams will loss a home game that year. It is bull that we are doing this and there should be no foreign team in the NFL.

How about none. Look at what's happened to teams in the MLB that have been placed out of the USA. Can anyone say Montreal Expos? I think it's ridiculous to expand the NFL as it is, because you have the perfect balance right now. And I can tell you right now, as long as the rest of the world has soccer and basketball, football will always come 3rd to the rest of the world. Plus count in traveling time and costs for NFL teams as well as what'll happened the first time an NFL player gets detained in a foreign country for their fabulous off the field behavior.....and you'd have one big mess in the making. And honestly, what players are going to want to live that far away from here? In a country with language barriers and such?
It would be the same results as soccer here in the United States. You just can't market a sport like that, when there's another sport that will always reign supreme.

None. The NFL product is great as it is; why water it down with a gimmick like that? It is fine to play a few exhibition games around the world, but the purpose of that should be to sell better TV rights. I hate that regular season games are going to be played in London.
The only viable cities are either in Mexico or Canada. Due to time zone constraints it is not fair to subject a team to that much travel.
Before we go to another country we should look at US cities; LA, San Antonio, or Toad Suck Arkansas (yes, a real city).

I don't think foreign countries should be able to have an NFL franchise. Let some of the other cities in the states have a team, but never outside the states.

Mexico City would be an excellent choice. Azteca Stadium sits more then 100,000, Mexicans love football, and it would be a natural choice as being so near to the US.

Toronto is probably the best choice, they already have baseball and it looks like Buffalo will likely be moved in the next 5-10 years, sigh, and Toronto is equipped with a usable stadium thats not too old etc etc etc.

it'd be toronto but canada will never let it happen and canadians won't like our "tiny" field and high level of skill montreal or vancouver are also 2 good major foreign cities not far from other franchises mexico city would probably like it but i think there will be a team in san juan, puerto rico(if u wanna consider that another country cause it still technically is) first
