Teams that have open stadiums are not unfortunate, it is their preference. They think that it gives them an advantage over visiting teams.
Bills are building a NEW stadium. NOT a enclosed!

I don't think so...

Buffalo must fear the Steelers. The Steelers have an open stadium and we have no problem with cold, snow, ice or rain. Bundle up Bunnies.
I thought Pittsburgh changed the name of their team to the Pittsburgh Kneelers a few years ago...

I'm familiar with Monday Morning Quarterbacks, but this is my first experience with Monday Morning Weathermen.

Did you see the stadium? How often has this happened in NFL history?

Please sit down and let the professionals do their job.

Absolutely would have been a different story if the storm had still been dumping snow Sunday morning.
Orchard Park and the 219 are a different animal. The stadium isn’t actually in Buffalo. It’s more rural with a rural fan base of season ticket holders. Hey, we have traveled from Superior to Green Bay more than once in the snow, but why have fans pay for the game and miss it? If you want real cold, spend a winter in Yellow Knife.

I sat through many snowy freezing cold games in the great outdoors before the Colts left Baltimore. The old Army blanket was our best friend... while parents had hot adult beverages. But we grew up hunting from booby blinds in rivers feeding the Chesapeake, breaking ice so we could stand in the water of wooded ponds duck hunting or freezing in a deer stand 10-15 ft in the air trying not to move at all so as to not be seen during freezing rain, sleet, bitter cold, and snow. Then hop in the ole Jeep, fire up the heater and feel like our hands were burning from it before the Jeep was even warm. Such was life on the Eastern Shore.

But Buffalo is different. Too many have died from these things in the past and no game is worth a single death.

NFL playoff

So I'm asking....if some teams are fortunate enough to have closed stadiums and the
other half have open stadiums, shouldn't they ALL have enclosed stadiums or
all have open stadiums?

BTW, I'm from Wisconsin, and if that game was scheduled up there with the same
weather conditions, they would play that game on Sunday regardless.
Of the ten NFL stadiums with domes, seven are in warmer climates. Not logical. Places like New England, Green Bay, Buffalo, and New York with snowy, freezing weather should be domed for fan safety.

Fan preference is part of the reason those stadiums are not domed.

My NFL Pick-Em choices for the playoffs have not gone well. Got maybe half right so far. I usually go with the favorites.

Da Bears would have never cancelled a game for a little weather. No way not never. And datza fact.
