plasma george 52 Posted January 17, 2008 When will the NFL wake up and play these big games like the Superbowl, where weather is taken out of the picure and NOT a factor. The game changes soooo much, it forces teams to alter their styles that got them there in the first place! It's not indicative of the Regular Season at all....it's like they need a second set of players on their rosters to play the slower, running style game when it's icy and windy, and the high powered passing attack type players go to the bench. The NFL game has changed over the years, but this 0 degree BS forces us back to the 60s. Don't like it, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted January 17, 2008 I know that I dug out the really cold gear out for the game. It is also supposed to be windy in Foxboro, but I can't get my hands on a number in mph. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edjr 5,538 Posted January 17, 2008 When will the NFL wake up and play these big games like the Superbowl, They play the Super Bowl in a predetermined location so people can plan for it months, years in advance. It's the biggest game seen in the world. Can you imagine how hard it would be if you only gave people 2 weeks to plan for it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't like it, Even if they did this, wouldn't this take getting HFA away or more importantly teams trying to win games atthe end of the year. People are upset now that some teams rest players, imagine if playoff games were played at a neutral site? The Patriots would have been resting players in week 11. There would be no point in tryingto win as many games as you can, teams would just look to win the amount needed to secure a playoff spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IF SD can't handle a few degrees below freezing, they deserve to lose.....and the field conditions will be just fine I'm sure. And the Giants play in cold weather so it's not a big deal for them. They are all men that play this game. They can put on their turtlenecks if need be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted January 18, 2008 i guess its obvious that i havetn seen a pats game all year.... they probably changed over for their precious soccer team oh well..ONE real game this weekend... They changed it mid-season last year because the field was slop. I think that the NFL may have "encouraged" them to do so. I am surprised that no one had the same biotching about that field in Pittsburgh this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROCKET 0 Posted January 18, 2008 Foxboro went to turf. HTH. Isn't there a big difference in the field turf they use at places like Foxboro and the artificial turf they use in domes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted January 18, 2008 Isn't there a big difference in the field turf they use at places like Foxboro and the artificial turf they use in domes? Not that I know of. All of the new stuff is ground up tires underneath. I think that they are using the same stuff in Detroit. Older domes are definitely using the older turf that is tough on the knees and scrapes you up pretty good. ETA: They use FieldTurf, which is used in a lot of different places now. http://www.fieldturf.com/installations/highProfile.cfm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The NFL game has changed over the years, but this 0 degree BS forces us back to the 60s. Don't like it, That is the point. Just like different size stadiums in baseball. So you want to play all playoff games at a neutral site? You obviously don't live in an NFL city and don't understand the economics of the game. Who will attend all these games? Do you expect all the fans to fly to these sites to see the games? What seats do season ticket holders get? Half of the excitement of the game comes from the crowd. Neutral crowds are boring. Wake up and think about what you said. Football was made to be played in the elements, it always has and hopefully it always will. I think you should be a fan of the Area Football League.

Phurfur 70 Posted January 18, 2008 Milwaukee local news/weather said about -15 with the wind chill in GB on Sunday. To put that in perspective the Ice Bowl was -47 wind chill. This is a walk in the park. People are really becoming a bunch of whimps. No, I won't be out there but I don't live there either. I have been to games that cold so if you are going "it starts with the feet". Keep your feet warm and you are usually OK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
