    Very true, I’m not trying to mention domes in Buffalo, but I wouldn’t have cared if I had to sit in a dome in OP. You wouldn’t be missing much. Denver better at least have many areas with glass to showcase the mountain views. Denver’s not a horrible place to sit outside in the winter anyways. Sure, they get the occnasty cold front, but the average winter day feels much better under that western sun. 


    I think we will see a retro-return to open air stadiums within a generation. These suffocating indoor stadiums will be looked at like the multi-use baseball/football parks of the 70s. 

  2. This board was in an uproar last year when Harty was not on the 53. He showed promise last preseason as a coverage corner with instincts and was in the building for a year.  Not sure what went wrong.

    Jones did not impress me last year. He is replacement level. Go young, save money with same results.

    As good as the rooks have looked you usually need some old man strength to play that position.

    I expect him to be on the practice squad here

    Correct and will be called up week 1. Beane playing 4D chess here. Daring anyone to sign someone who was cut in spite of injury depletion. 

  5. Would be better for the fans if they brought back the weekly cutdown requirements like the good old days. Preseason has become unbearable with nothing real to talk about from late July to early September.

    How well will the irrigation system work to keep the grass in good playing condition is my question. Heated grass melts the snow into water. 6 ft of snow creates allot of water the system is expected to remove while keeping the field playable. Will it fog up the stadium? Is it possible an easily removable cover can be placed over the field for protection?

     

    I'm skeptical, but love grass from an injury perspective... 

     

    wondered this myself…part of the calculus nowadays is that with the league revenue being so high you can just pre-schedule to rip up the turf and re-sod from scratch 2-3 times a year. A complete premium grass re-sod can be done for $200-$300k - about half the cost of league minimum veteran.
