Yes, we were watching the deterioration of the NY Giants’ coach’s face during the game. I hope the poor man didn’t suffer some serious frostbite. His skin looked terrible!

I think the NFL should insist on the Packers having a domed stadium. Playing in such conditions is ridiculous.

The NFL should ban domes. Playing in such conditions is what makes the game FOOTBALL. Nothing ridiculous about it, it’s a hard game played in bad weather. Wind, cold, rain, sleet and snow, that’s what makes the game GREAT.

Cold is one thing - playing in LETHAL weather isinsane.

I would note that even the Army has limits as to when soldiers must ‘come inside’ in extreme cold wx. -70.

Doesn’t take much of a breeze to get that cold.

Fans here actually lobbied for it when the stadium was being renovated. For the possibility of hosting a Super Bowl here.

But a dome (or a retractable roof) would have added another $50 million to the cost of renovation, so the organization said no.
