Home field advantage hurts us more nowadays then ever so your right.Tell them to put a roof on the damn place!
Sorry as I get older, I get colder, but @Loyal and others know this.Home field advantage hurts us more nowadays then ever so your right.
All winter games for the Packers need to be played in Austin, Texas especially in January....Sorry as I get older, I get colder, but @Loyal and others know this.
IDK about that, but @Packfan18 for years they finally smarten up in Minnesota & Detroit, what's taken our Wisconsin brethren so long? All of us realize there is no hope in Chicago, but come one, Where's the Roof?All winter games for the Packers need to be played in Austin, Texas especially in January....
Do you really think home field has started to hurt y'all?Home field advantage hurts us more nowadays then ever so your right.
I get that thought; and, genuinely have mixed feelings because there is NFL history with the Packers and Lambeau Field. There really is not with the Vikings and Lions.IDK about that, but @Packfan18 for years they finally smarten up in Minnesota & Detroit, what's taken our Wisconsin brethren so long?

The Packers need to sell the team to a billionaire owner. Otherwise they are at the mercy of QB roulette to stay relevant after Rodgers leavesIDK about that, but @Packfan18 for years they finally smarten up in Minnesota & Detroit, what's taken our Wisconsin brethren so long?

That's how it will look all next January
Okay as to Yankee Stadium, which I've been to the old & new quite a few times over the years living in Upstate, NY but don't like the Yankees being a Dodger fan. Baseball is played in the Sultry days of Summer, no issue, leave it alone, even in Minnesota no roof for baseball is fine, but the Vikings had a great tradition in Bloomington Minnesota before they finally smartened up and built the Hubert H. Humphrey (yes @Loyal before Creed there was Hubert) Metro Dome in 1978 my God if the Vikings had built that several years earlier the Rams and Chuck Knox would have been to the Super Bowl.I get that thought; and, genuinely have mixed feelings because there is NFL history with the Packers and Lambeau Field.

I live in NYC and grew-up going to Yankee Stadium ... before and after the 1974-1975 renovations. The current stadium the Yankees play in is terrific. However, regardless of it's name, that ain't Yankee Stadium. Just like TD Garden or the New Garden just is not the Boston Garden.
Maybe it's time to put tradition in the history books and just move-on but I revere a few sports locations. Lambeau Field and Wrigley Field are two of them
I don't disagree. See both sides. Maybe it's a degree of tradition for me.Okay as to Yankee Stadium, which I've been to the old & new quite a few times over the years living in Upstate, NY but don't like the Yankees being a Dodger fan.

Seriously I am all about tradition and nobody loves Vincent Thomas Lombardi & Cold November Mud more then me, but times change and you evolve and IMO, I don't think you have to play games in the bitter cold anymore.
Still the Vikings got there, I always found it amusing that after 1977 the Rams let Chuck Knox go and hired George Allen based on his record against Dallas, but Knox did not have issues against Dallas, he could never beat Bud Grant and the Minnesota Vikings in the playoffs and Allen was not any good against the Vikings either, so I could not believe how blinded the Rams were back then because even as a 12 year old back then, I was screaming, we can beat Dallas, we can't beat Minnesota so hire Bill Walsh, who I wanted because of his Offensive Success at Stanford.For example, the Vikings. You're right. They did have a very strong tradition for about a decade with four Super Bowl appearances but it was limited; and none of those four games were particularly competitive.
That's funny to think that Joe montana probably would have been a ramStill the Vikings got there, I always found it amusing that after 1977 the Rams let Chuck Knox go and hired George Allen based on his record against Dallas, but Knox did not have issues against Dallas, he could never beat Bud Grant and the Minnesota Vikings in the playoffs and Allen was not any good against the Vikings either, so I could not believe how blinded the Rams were back then because even as a 12 year old back then, I was screaming, we can beat Dallas, we can't beat Minnesota so hire Bill Walsh, who I wanted because of his Offensive Success at Stanford.
