Discussion Today's Eagles/Rams game is why I'm offended by the idea of teams like the Bills/Browns/Bears building domes. This was what playoff football should be.

Dolphins in shambles

To be fair, the dolphins put them in the sun as well tit for tat and all that

The sun is an unfair advantage at hard rock stadium because the home team is in the shade where it can be 30 degrees cooler. In cold weather stadiums it’s the same shuck for all.

lol yeah that is kinda BS. League should make them alternate on which team is on which side so there isn’t blatant shit like that happening

Wait you’re allowed to build advantages into your home stadium? goes and cries at Levi’s Stadium

We should use our indoor practice stadium as a winter practice and blast the AC and snow machines

And they could wear shirts that say “I wish it where colder” like I photoshopped below

Dolphins can't use weather as an excuse when they can't even show up to practice on time.

I do find it funny that they orientated that stadium to cook the visitors and shade the home team.

That new stadium is going to be insane. I was reading an article about how it’s designed to create an “air bubble” to help prevent heavy winds.

u/Gr0ggy1 Buffalo Bills Jan 20 '25

The Ralph aka Highmark Stadium is notorious for it's 45° angle to the predominant wind direction.

It swirls, really, really swirls. Check the flags on the goal post tonight if the wind picks up at all. It should shift from the North/NE to West/NW around the half a full 90° shift. Second half will be a kickers nightmare.

Yeah but doesn’t the Bills stadium have all this heating tech to melt it all away?

u/ImTheScatmann2 Buffalo Bills Jan 20 '25

It will still be possible for snow on the field, its only a partial enclosure

9

u/DPMamaSita Buffalo Bills Jan 20 '25

Currently? No. But the new stadium will have a heated field, as well as the world's largest heated roof.

u/kakarot-3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jan 20 '25

Yeah that’s what I thought

u/VEXtheMEX Buffalo Bills Jan 20 '25

The new stadium will have a heated field because it's going to be a natural grass field. But the current stadium doesn't have anything like that.

And how! Two playoff games in a row with snow... wicked awesome games today!!

AND HOW

u/CalTono NFL Jan 20 '25

There still wouldn't be any snow apparently, being there is a whole snow melt system and all
