theesir Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I mentioned that earlier and think that is the reason. Russ this morning on the radio said there is no rule about having to be on the press box side. I was kind of annoyed with the way Howard brought it up. He laid it out as almost a joke to be asking (those silly fans) and never addressed the fact that forget the fans, the team is standing in the cold while the visiting team is more comfortable.

Gugny Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 The stadium should rotate. But Ralph's too cheap for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every seat in the house is on the 50 yard line twice during the game. A complete rotation during the 3 hours or so of a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 fwiw, once the game has started, the temperature is virtually irrelevant to players; unless it's 30 below or 105 you don't even really notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention you'd want to play into the perception of unpleasantness as much as possible. I'm quite sure that if the press box was on the other side we'd hear half as much crap about it being cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 "Observe on high ground and face the sunny side." The press box is on high ground and observes the sunny side. Is that a tactical advantage for the coaches up in the box? Probably. And you thought Bill Belicheat had us out foxed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true. After a few minutes on a shaded sideline on a cold day, a player would feel less prepared to re-enter the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
