Did you and the next poster miss a very key word in the sentence "bonus".

bo·nus   [boh-nuhs]
noun, plural -nus·es.
1.
something given or paid over and above what is due.
2.
a sum of money granted or given to an employee, a returned soldier, etc., in addition to regular pay, usually in appreciation for work done, length of service, accumulated favors, etc.
3.
something free, as an extra dividend, given by a corporation to a purchaser of its securities.
4.
a premium paid for a loan, contract, etc.
5.
something extra or additional given freely: Every purchaser of a pound of coffee received a box of cookies as a bonus.

And did you not remember what your first sentence was? What does you enjoying watching football in the warmer weather have to do with the actual outcome of the game?

if that's the reason you spend big bucks to watch a football game in a stadium, then you're more retarded than i took you for.

See above post for definition of "bonus". You wouldn't think a retard like me would have to define that for you but obviously I do.

I wasn't commenting on the weather having an effect on the game, I was commenting on my comfort while watching said game in response to a post that stated domes should be banned because evidently its not manly enough unless your freezing your balls off.

Frankly, weather does have an effect on the game. If you wanted to more accurately determine who was the "best" team it would make a lot more sense to remove variables such as weather than to introduce them.

If the Superbowl was held in August in New Orleans in an open air stadium most teams wouldn't stand a damned chance. It wouldn't be a contest between the best football teams but a contest to see who can withstand the heat and humidity best. It would be rather amusing to watch the Packers puking by halftime though (no offense but you damn near gotta chew your air before you breathe it).

NFC's road to the Superbowl goes through Lambeau, and the Saints will suffer and die up there.

As I said, we shall see. Our running game is extremely solid and Brees came from cold weather. If the offenses are even remotely equal in the weather I think our defense gives us the advantage.

But you are kinda proving my point, you are saying the weather and not the teams will be the determining factor. Not really the best way to prove who is the best team in my opinion.

remember when there were no domes?

that was football at it's finest.
 
I just wish the NFL would do something similar to the MLB and make the winner of the Pro-bowl the host of the next Superbowl. So if the NFC wins the pro-bowl then the NFC champion gets the home spot. Give the hometown fans of that team something to actually rally and have fun at.

The NFL is the only major American sport that does a neutral playing field for it's championship game. Every other major sport has some sort of home field/court advantage.

it may be a "bonus" but it seems to me that's the only reason you go to a game.

i stand by my original post.

Nope, the wording was my actual intent. I go to a game to watch it but before the game, at halftime, and after the game I enjoy watching other things and it ain't the halftime show.

I stand by my original statement as well. I actually feel sorry for you poor bastards that have no clue what I am talking about, I truly do.

Remember when we only had black and white TVs? Yeah, same time.....

I'll take my bigscreen high def. TV when watching the game thank you very much.

you're a moron.

the discussion is about watching football in the stands, not at home in your comfy chair.

try and stay on the subject that YOU seem to know more than anyone else.

Tell that to the Saint's after they bring home another Superbowl victory.

Well the weather is always nice for both teams what sucks is the amount of extra noise the visiting team must play through, noise that is caused purely by the fact that it's an enclosed space, unfair advantage IMO. don't get me wrong the Saints are a great team with great fans but a home team in a dome has an advantage IMO...
 
Nowadays, I don't think bad weather in and of itself slows down the Saints too much. Look at the 2007 NFC Championship game, both teams still moved the ball through the air. I don't know the game time temperature, but the Packers and Lions aired it out in record-setting fashion yesterday.

terrible idea. It's bad enough in MLB where few like that rule itself; but an exhibition game played half-speed by worn-out NFL players is about the worst way to decide home field advantage for the Super Bowl.

Screw you! Open air stadiums anywhere north of Southern Tennessee should be banned. WTF is wrong with you people? Don't you know that football runs into this little thing called fucking winter? I love watching the retarded ass Packers fans at a game wearing 15 layers of clothes and wrapped in 4 blankets during a fucking blizzard shivering their damn fool asses off.

That's why we have a dome, when we built it we considered that little thing called weather.
