I think the stank affecting the Cowboys is spreading to other teams. Detroit got theirs. Now the Bills.The league is clearly against the Bills…..and Cowboys of course!
Imo, the NFL should disallow most teams unless they have a covered stadium to play in.The NFL should then mandate enclosed stadiums then?
How much of this decision was based on the open stadium? I would think it was more about traveling into and out of Buffalo as well as driving to and from the stadium. An open stadium probably is a factor, but this storm as well as others are a challenge for the people in the area whether they are football fans or not.I don't feel sorry for them since they refuse to build a domed stadium. They stubbornly want to stick to an open stadium in order to have "homefield advantage"? Well, time to suck it up and pay the price.
rg3 said as much..,The NFL should then mandate enclosed stadiums then?
I don't think a dome would matter in their case. They can get storms where people just can't travel.I don't feel sorry for them since they refuse to build a domed stadium.

The NFL should mandate all stadiums be open.The NFL should then mandate enclosed stadiums then?
Very true. I forgot they can get 6'+ feet of snow at any given time.I don't think a dome would matter in their case. They can get storms where people just can't travel.
Moving this game has nothing to do with the stadium itself.Imo, the NFL should disallow most teams unless they have a covered stadium to play in.

I was gonna say…The NFL should mandate all stadiums be open.
Just my opinion, I could be totally wrong. I think it's easier for an open air team to adjust to a dome environment than it is the other way around.I was gonna say…
Statistically, teams that play in open air are significantly more successful historically vs teams that play in domes. Count the rings: It’s the New England’s and Pittsburgh’s and San Francisco’s and Denver’s and Green Bay’s vs the Detroit’s and Atlanta’s and New Orleans’ and Arizona’s and Minnesota’s.
Just look at Dallas; rings in open air vs rings in dome. There is a difference in team psychology in group 1 vs group 2.
Pretty sure the stadium had nothing to do with this. It was about keeping people off the roads.I don't feel sorry for them since they refuse to build a domed stadium. They stubbornly want to stick to an open stadium in order to have "homefield advantage"? Well, time to suck it up and pay the price.
When is the last time the Bills have postponed a playoff game due to snowy weather?Pretty sure the stadium had nothing to do with this. It was about keeping people off the roads.
I don't know about the playoffs, but two regular season Bills games have been moved to Ford Field in the last decade (and one was postponed a day) because of weather in Buffalo.When is the last time the Bills have postponed a playoff game due to snowy weather?
