It's got a high growth rate and contrary to belief it's not a ghetto. 32 Skyscrapers are set to be or are being developed in MC. It's the 8th richest city in the world is is home to one of the top financial centers in North America. and it's not inconceivable for a team to travel to a Texas team and then a short trip to MC and back again to another city w/ 1 day off. It is about 1050miles from Houston and with in 2000 miles of Los Angeles.(both are car travel and not a more direct route) Theoretically w/ a Japanese bullet train that is traveling it's top speed of 200MPH it can get from LA to Mexico in 10 hours.
Again it's a radical thought, but just something to stir the pot.
In a fictional league I was doing by myself, I once added the Mexico City Mexicans, and the Montreal Canadians at an expansion.
