Ohhh yeah....we have the Aguilas Marinas [Sea Hawks, I guess] here in Ensenada. Fun to watch. Lots of razzle-dazzle plays, triple reverses etc., and blood. They really play hard....on cement-like dirt as well.


oooops....just saw your mention of the Eagles. I think we're talking about the same team.

My son played here in Ensenada for three years not for the Aguilas but for his high school team and he, and I, had a great time. Because of the dirt field he always came home with skinned up elbows and knees. Never saw a fight between teams and also the parents were respectful to the ref's. He starts medical school in August and I hope they have a team he can join.

Interesting stuff! I did not know that American Football was played down there. GREAT! Would love to attend a game. How does one get the schedule?

Stupid me!


I hadn't a clue that football was a played sport in Mexico! This is the first time I ever seen pictures of the game being played. Thought Soccer was the big game.

So...just how popular is Football in Baja?
