That's right, Frosty: I have long believed every NFL team should play inside, even in San Diego and Miami -- at least with a retractable roof. One day, I believe, every team will.

You harrumph and say, "We purists believe football was meant to be played in the elements!" Yeah, maybe in the late 1800s. Give it up, Trapper John. We have indoor plumbing now -- and indoor football that makes the wintertime experience far better for players and fans alike. What beats a Super Bowl in the Superdome? Why should "real men" and "real women" suffer frostbite to support their teams?

I agree with this. All new stadiums should have retractable roofs. Playing in some of the elements that happen last Sunday is freaking ridiculous.

buncha pussies up in this thread.

The best football venues and the best fans reside in cold weather cities.

It is only fans of finesse teams that want this shite

Well, Skip, there will be 150+ million men and women who will be watching the game at room temperature.

I tend to agree, not many sports allows the weather to seriously effect their games. I want to see who is the best on the field, not who has played in snow before.

The mix of indoor / outdoor, warm / cold climate ball is part of the allure of watching.

Outdoor football > indoor football

I'll go ahead and remind everybody once again: It snows 24/7 every single day from Thanksgiving to Saint Patrick's day in every single city north of the Mason-Dixon Line.

The correct way to look at this is to disregard the weather and just enjoy the game regardless of the elements.

Any issue that anyone takes with any kind of weather (that doesn't put people in immediate danger) during a football game, regardless of the game's importance, should be ignored.

Part of the beauty of football is that it goes head-to-head with nature and its chance. Part of what makes a football team great is its ability to adapt to a specific game's situation, be it the other team's style, the playing surface, the influence of the crowd, the game's importance, and the effect of the elements.

A Super Bowl anywhere else where they keep the lights on for the entirety of the game.
