ALL TEAMS SHOULD HAVE A DOME

Unread post by rich72 »

I think the advantage of teams in cold areas, also hot and humid areas need to be eliminated. Green Bay is absolutely terrible now in the warmth, and Atlanta is probably in 7th Heaven with green bays temperature and humidity right now. In the winter with the Packers (and others) it is a clear advantage.

Don’t know why but I actually find dome games boring to watch…I am ok with the Raiders; but other stadium…can be hard work….

I remember the Minnesota vikings under Bud Grant; Minnesota was a brutal place to go to in December; think they were actually undefeated in December before they went dome….

Yeah I prefer to watch games that arent played in a dome also, especially the snow games. It does give the home team a big advantage though.

when Josh Allen was asked about this recently, he was thrilled about the new grass at highmark, where the bills play, and he signed out the rug burns they get on the fake crap, and how much those would hurt, and how long they would take to heal.....he hates that most, apparently, about the plastic / rubber carpet crap.
....I also read another time about the possible health risks they are looking in to that may be tied to breathing in all of that rubber particulate from the fake crap, and including (also) with soccer goalies, etc.

3-0 in a dome so far, starting to pay attention.
