The elements hurt every good QB. Numbers go down.

The elements hurt every bad QB too. Sometimes to the point where they can't even throw.

I would rather have an elite QB doing elite things.

There are very few scary weather home fields. Snow is not the issue in Buffalo. It's the wintry mix and wind. Green Bay is cold and snow. The wind and rain isn't that bad in Green Bay.

We have that nasty weather coming off the lake. It's just different.

I agree that numbers go down

But all quarterbacks are not created equal... Mac Jones literally was not allowed to throw in that wind because he couldn't... Most quarterbacks would have to keep the ball within five 10 yards

Josh actually completed like 15 passes and had zip downfield... If we had a running game we would have blown the Patriots out

We would be almost unbeatable in those circumstances with a running game... Can Josh have a bad game in elements? sure

But he's also very capable of always out playing the other quarterback which is a huge advantage

+17 days deeper into January/Winter

HS sect. champ wk 1 of November.

Maybe this is the nostalgia disconnect for “fall October outdoor football”

(HS ends vet day, NFL ends valentines!)

If open air end zone:

—small glass pool in the end zone (heated)

—-1+ Buffalo Bison 🦬 grazing

Totally, need to screw with visiting team psychology.

You want tiny flags??? Hmmmmm

I will say, yet again, I don’t really care as long as they remain in WNY. PERIOD. I’m sure we have that part covered, so I’m good.

Having said that, I think a dome would help late season attendance. I go early in the season for a reason. I’m an out-of-towner. I would not consider a late season game. That’s NOT a complaint, it’s just a fact. When I was a kid the bad weather games were almost more fun because of the bad weather. I am not a kid anymore, and I have a very nice big screen and a comfy couch. I’m good.

MY ideal scenario would be a Minneapolis style facility downtown surrounded by hotels, restaurants and bars. If it were domed I’d consider late season games. The walk to the stadium in Nashville was a far easier and more pleasant experience than me getting near, then into and out of a lot in OP. This is admittedly from an out of towner, and just speaking strictly from that perspective.

I could go on and on, but I expect an open air stadium in OP because it’s cheapest and easiest. That will make many people happy, including me. I just hope we have the same great sight lines as we do in The Ralph.

Some choices like those which are in other stadiums:

Ice cold showers in visitors locker rooms.

Full stadium audio - listening not speakers - including visiting locker rooms.

Obstructing view seating where you cannot even see the field due to overhang and pillars.
