MMQB: Neutral Sites

quote:

There is talk this morning from legit people that the NFL wants to move all NFC/AFC Championship games in the future to Neutral sites now. They have apparently fallen in love with the idea supposedly as a way to reward teams with "Super Bowl ready" stadiums.


Yep, Albert Breer outlined above why ($$$) and that it’s likely sooner rather than later.

The caveat I hadn’t thought of that he pointed out was that NFC stadiums would bid on AFC and AFC on NFC to prevent home field (unless it was NY or LA).

That's a horrible fricking idea. It's going to royally dick over cold weather teams in smaller cities. No way would Green Bay, Buffalo or Cincinnati ever get picked to host a conference championship game under a neutral site scenario.

what a stupid arse idea.
How about we also say unless it was TB/Miami, or Hou/Dallas, or New England/NY, or Washington/Baltimore, or Detroit and the AFC North, or Los Angeles/Arizona, etc.
I'd be furious if i was the Eagles and had to go play in LA against the 49ers.

Having the best record means something in the NFL. Don't take that away.
