Maybe it is time to move the season earlier by one month.

Thanks for the info. That seems to be the problem.

Seven degrees in Green bay on Sunday. . . . and that means absolutely nothing to people that go to Pack playoff games and live in Milwaukee, Chitown and GB - however - it means a world of pain to people from Frisco. (teehee)

a television blackout in the Green Bay and Milwaukee viewing areas.
Normally I would just say, TFB.
But if the Packer franchise has recently taken taxpayer money, for whatever reason, then no blackout should ever apply.

Demands for money for playoff tix went out back when it appeared the Packers would not make the playoffs - so much of their fanbase simply didn’t pay. That explains their biggest fans not showing up.
Beyond that though, add on the high cost of tix, parking, concessions, the over-the-top security, the constant, nanny-state harping at stadiums on not-smoking, not drinking, supporting this or that cause, PLUS 0 Deg. Weather, and I say the NFL can stuff it.

Seven degrees in Green bay on Sunday. Amateurs. I just saw on my AccuWeather that our predicted high on Sunday is -20 here in Northern Minnesota.

I hope there is no blackout. I was looking forward to sitting by the pool, watching the game and drinking a Margarita. We get thirsty down here in Florida, don’t ‘ya know.

Rush was just talking about this on his show. He wants algore, barry and other leftists to sit in the front row for the entire game and then give a talk about gore bull warming.

yeah....saw that after I posted....cold out.
I am not a fan. I will watch the playoffs and the Superduper bowl.... but I do not follow during the season.
if I am going to go out and freeze....it has to be with me with a deer rifle in my hand. to sit there and watch a football game in those temperatures is something I will never do.

Bengals still need to sell about 8000 tickets.
They have a taxpayer paid stadium, but they also have a sweetheart contract signed by Cincy’s less than cagey politicians that gives absolutely no consideration whatsoever to Cincy fans.

If I’m not mistaken KC sold out every home game this season. I skipped the Denver game because seats in the stratosphere were going for $350 a piece.

What is the wind going to be like? The cold you can barely prepare for with clothing and boot heaters, but the wind is a deal killer for me.
I sat on the upper deck front row for a Chiefs game once where the wind chill was -10. It was unbearable by half time. Frost bite to the face was what I was trying to avoid and I didn’t bring large snow goggles.

I lived in Madison for several years and I made it up to a couple of Packers games, but when that snow and cold are present, it’s a tough hall.

Gee, do you think the price might be too high. Several hundred dollars to watch a football game is ridiculous. It is amazing that they sold as many tickets as they did.
To: Vaquero
Don’t blame you a bit. As for me, I don’t watch the playoffs until they are Packer-free. And Sunday will probably be spent trying to keep warm. :)

Not sure....
I went to the Green Bay game on December 26, 1993. Turned out to be the game that the Lambeau Leap was invented.......after Reggie White recovered a fumble and lateralled it to Leroy Butler who scored.
THE WEATHER: It was 0 degrees, but -30 wind chill. It was absolutely brutal but it was a full house. Green Bay spanked the then L.A Raiders 28-0. You knew the game was over when the Raiders took the field. It is like the Raiders had landed on another planet.
I suspect this weekend's game will be as brutal.

I wonder if the game will still be on The Red Zone? I would think so. At the end of Sunday afternoon's games it sounded like the Red Zone host was saying the end of season thank yous and good byes. He didn't explicitly say it was the end of the year, but there's not much reason for the Red Zone when only one game is being played at a time.
