Weather should not determine outcomes of games. Skill should. Pass heavy teams will have a tougher time in rain and snow. Run heavy teams will excel. The better team doesn’t always have the best shot for their skill set. It should be equal across the league. Either all outside or all in domes.

Whether you think playing in the elements adds a home field advantage or not, it still results in sloppy football and more turnovers. Even for the home team.
While I agree wholeheartedly, I have to think the history of this game being played in the mud and snow precludes changing the rules on weather.

And if you did that, then do you empty the stands and create a quiet atmosphere so this game is pristine?

Football has played in the elements since the dawn of time…well dawn of football time.
It is what makes it fun.

You want everything to be be equal, domes, no weather…well then play them all on neutral sites.

Boring.

Why do you think conditions should always favor pass-heavy teams over run-heavy teams?

Why do you think being able to play well in varying conditions isn't skill?

Playing football, I like the elements.

Rooting for football, I don’t.

I get both points of view, but I lean toward wanting the neutral field.

I about fell off my chair laughing at the move Kelce made after that catch. It was like slow motion and didn't fool anyone.
