I know it is a state of the art facility. What I would love to see is a practice space where they can bring the temperature to below freezing, and also add fans to simulate a cold wind. This way, the players can practice in cold and windy conditions for the week leading up to such games. Once they get to the game, they won't be shocked by the cold, but instead somewhat acclimated.

I know they don't need it for this year, but it would probably be helpful for future years and games.

Im not a believer in temperature effecting the game in such a manner. These players come from all over the country, cold is not a new experience for 99% of them.

Some may dismiss this idea but I think it could certainly help us.

At the very least, I don't think it could hurt, and if money isn't an issue (which it probably isn't), then I say you take any advantage you can get.

However, money may very well be an issue, as I feel like some other team may have come up with something like this already if it was feasible.

Jerry can afford it.

At first I thought it was a silly idea but really why not? Obviously the technology is our there. Why wouldn't Jerry use his money to prepare his team to play on every environment.

If Jerry hasn't thought of this, maybe someone should bring it to his attention. Chances are, it would only be for 2-3 games a year.

They could even bring in a snow machine with blowers...not really unfounded. There are simulations for rainy weather, when balls are dunked in buckets of water and used during practice.

Jerry the multi billionaire is....and he will just pass that cost onto us fans as he has been doing for nearly 30 years.

I seem to recall some statements as to anything but no Lombardi is acceptable? Which is it...Jerry or the Lombardi in sight?
