Why would any Giants Fan sit in cold weather today to watch a dogshit team that's 2-11?

[J.S.]

A better question is, Why doesn't the NFL require teams located in cold-weather areas to build domed stadiums, or at least retractable-dome stadiums? There's nothing "macho" about sitting or playing in miserable weather at a sporting event. Playing in frigid temperatures and conditions increases the chance of injury, among other downsides.

The super blow should be played in North Dakota.

Because arena football sucks.

Should be an annual event at Lambeau Field.

That's what always gets me, especially in college. You have a team that can't possibly be in the title game, and they play conservatively. Some college teams are out by October. If I'm the coach of that team, then I'm having all kinds of fun.

playing it safe to avoid going 2-12 LOL

Burn gas and pay for parking to watch a SHIT SHOW in the cold?? what the fuck is wrong with Giants fans? That stadium should be empty

My neighbors uncle had tickets to the Lions game the year they went 0 and 16. I drove. I don’t normally go to Lions games. It was my chance to see a nfl game live. I went once when Barry sanders played.

Anyways, it was like a funeral sure. Quiet. Very few cheers. But we made fun of them and booed. It was still fun.

I’m sure you’ve been to games where your team lost?

I find it a treat to go to stadiums. Haven’t been to many. Lakers, pistons, lions, red wings, tigers. That’s it. I’d love to go to Giants stadium

Hell yes.

I would have went even if outside and cold. Maybe not stay the whole game though

To get away from his even colder wife?

I saw on Facebook yesterday that the Mets have won a game more recently than the NY Giants. Brutal.

 

[fbj]

To get away from his even colder wife?

they have 1 game left at home vs colts. And I would be stunned if that stadium is not empty

AFC North has it right. No domes! Run the ball in December and January. It's why Baltimore and Pittsburgh have both clinched playoff spots.

If you're good enough, you can still pass in the cold. (See: Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre.)

That will never happen in Green Bay. Home-field advantage is their greatest asset in the winter due to weather. Buffalo is another than revels in their weather advantage over teams from the south. College teams from up north learned the opposite when playing in late summer in the deep south! Michigan, Ohio State and Minnesota all melt and run into their cleats on a hot Alabama field in September.
Pro teams learn the same when playing outdoors in Miami and Jacksonville. Practicing indoors in Minneapolis doesn't get you ready for the heat and humidity in Florida.

Watching Football in a dome sucks

I enjoyed the two games I saw in the Superdome in New Orleans, both Sugar Bowls. If it sucks so badly, why do they always host the Superbowl indoors or in a warm climate if outdoors? In terms of domes, the Superdome is f-ing tiny. Your mileage my vary of course.

Buffalo is building a new stadium
No dome

That was my reasoning on full display. Nashville is building an indoor stadium and so us Jacksonville more for the heat than rain. I suffered severe sunburn during my college football games and at Jacksonville. Many fans got overheated. That's why they prefer night games in their scheduling.

Because the snowflakes who attend because it is The Place To Be want climate control.

The Super Bowl should be an annual game in Green Bay.
