And the players aren't staying long enough to get acquainted with the general public or taking long walks thru the downtown area and mingling. And it is a large city and a major business area. Not exactly the ghetto. They're there on a business trip to play a game. Simple as that.
That said, I expect a high scoring game as players should feel like they wanna put on a show for the gringos! Am sure the league wants them to. 
It's a very large city. Google it. Largest in Southern Hemisphere and 12.5 million people. Overall a wealthy city, but obviously a lot of poor too and the more people the more crime. Crime rate is ridiculous there. If they went for a walk they'd probably get robbed and the cops are involved with the robbing and drugs am sure. If I went there the first thing I'd do is go find me some uncut coca! 
I found it odd that that the NFL would pick any team to play in a game in Brazil without first checking if there would be an issue about either one of them playing...the whole colors issue is quite bizarre to me in that the NFL would not have cleared all this before making the schedule...just seems like a dumb NFL thing...
This whole international thing is not good for the teams...I wonder who will play in the first moon game and will be the first to claim that they were the first to step foot on the moon...
Carry on
yes, it will affect them… players wearing gold chains must be aware of opposing players AND of fans jumping onto the field trying to snatch their bling bling.
