Now, if you combine the high altitude and lower atmospheric pressure that you find in venues like Mexico City or Guadalajara, the reduction in air density, it's fairly significant. In these high altitude environments, a soccer ball can travel at an average speed up to 5% higher than it would a sea level. There's some math on this. And this directly results in longer flight distances. And it actually, in some cases, when you pump up the ball, you have to actually account for that as well. FIFA apparently does take that into consideration. I played soccer both. I played health league, select, and I played rap. Obviously, I never went beyond rap because that's just, I wasn't good enough to go beyond rap. Every time, a lot of time on the soccer field kicking the ball around, I played midfield and I played defense. And when I was really, really.
