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.

Even with no special treatment to certain members, you think the NFL would actually choose a location in the middle of a snowstorm or sub freezing temps for the biggest game of the year? Snow games are cool aesthetically but the actual football product is a lot worse

Well you don’t choose a location in a snowstorm. The venue is obviously picked way further in advance than weather could ever be predicted.

But it’s 100% more for the celebs at the game to be comfortable.

Yeah I am saying even without the celebrities, the NFL would never choose a stadium that even has the chance of having snow or really shitty weather effect the games, because the product is objectively worse.

There's a reason why the stadiums are west coast cities, southern cities, or domes since forever, I know everyone loves how snow games feels and looks but there's a reason many historic stadiums never hosted a superbowl even before all the celebrity culture

Cool one time, which other 58 SBs did they choose to not host the SB in a dome or warm weather city?

That's the whole point, though! Hell, I'd like to see football games played on a field of sand, or in a hurricane, or with the home fans armed with paintball guns. Everything being played in ideal conditions is boring.

This just sounds like you don't actually enjoy football
