49ers’ Mexico trip may outlast Melbourne visit

Coach Kyle Shanahan warned that the 49ers’ Week 11 game in Mexico City could keep them away longer than the Week 1 Melbourne opener because of altitude adjustments.

Shanahan said the 49ers would likely fly to Colorado Springs to acclimate to Mexico City’s 2,000‑foot altitude before heading to the game, making the Mexico trip longer than the Melbourne one. palladian.co.za
