49ers Face Longer Mexico Trip Than Melbourne

Shanahan explained that altitude is the main issue for Mexico City, which sits 2,000 feet higher than Denver. The team will likely travel to Colorado Springs for acclimation before heading to Mexico City the night before the game. He added that the Mexico trip will probably be longer than the Australia trip, despite the shorter flight, and that the team may go straight from Dallas to Colorado for the preparation. tbzikra.com
