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.
I don't get NFL Network but I was in a Cigar Bar last month that does get it. The TV happened to be on the NFL Network and they were featuring the ten worst-weather games. I think the Dallas-GB ice bowl was #1. I actually attended one of the games they featured which was the Browns-Giants game in 1959 where Pat Summerall kicked a 49 yard FG in the snow to win the game for the Giants. I remember that day (Cars sliding everywhere! Jim Brown off left tackle for a 67 yard TD on the first play of the game.) much more than most of the other games I attended when I was young. Another bad weather game that may have been on the NFL Network's list (I wasn't really paying that much attention to the show.) was the sneaker game in the 1956 Championship where the Giants beat the Bears 47-7. I was at that game too. Ten degrees. I had my first cup of coffee that day.
