    Know football in the winter time up north. And they know they are gonna have to clean the snow up for people to play.
    Why don't they build indoor stadiums like we have in the south. So both the Players and the fans can be out of the cold.

    And you went to know why I say when it snows why don't the electricity go off.

    LOL...Don't know and don't care...I hate football...I believe there are a few covered stadiums though...I remember back in the 60's my father would watch the Packers, Vikings and other teams play in open stadiums in the snow...Warm weather teams like Miami did not have a chance...He would say that was real football...

    Who wants to bundle up and sit on a piece of Ice.
    Build a building with a Roof and sit in the heater during the winter.

    You build a restaurant and make the folks sit outside in the cold and eat.

    Way north here and a Patriots fan. In a snow storm they have people shoveling the field, at least so the white lines can be seen. Pats have played in many a snow storm over the years. Its an advantage to play up here against teams like Chargers, Dolphins, Panthers etc...

    Hmmm

    We should move one of our stadiums to El Paso.
    And have the teams to come here and play in the desert with it 113*
    And have the fans to sit on concrete bleachers with the sun hitting them.

    Watching it on TV.
    Didn't have a clue it was that cold.
    My blood can't handle the 100 Plus degree summers here and go up there to that kind of cold weather.

    WoW

    Only problem being, based on Jerry Jones extravagance, I'm pretty sure you Texas folk like to dress to impress. NO matter the cost.

    Yeah but
    The Cowboys stadium is as oppulent a stadium as you'll ever find and I imagine the Texans stadium isn't to far away. And football in Texas is like church any wheres else so I'm saying I doubt any professional football stadium owner in Texas is gonna cheapen his seats for any reason.

    You dress better than I do, have never owned a pair of Nike shoes even if there headquarters are located here in Oregun. Or owned a pair of expensive boots. Nope, and don't care to either. ;)

    Where did the Patriots and Colts play last nite.
    Didn't look like everybody was all bundled up last nite.

    Lets Play football in El Paso during the summer with it 113*.
    Sit out in the sun, no top.
    Bring the fans in and lets see how well they like watching the game.
    See how well you can dress for it.
    See how much sun tan oil you stick on and if the bleachers don't heat up like a BBQ pit.

    Was a beautiful day out today with lots of sun. Got out and blew out the fir needles from the garage and shop floors, blew the big leaves and fir needles off the big and long driveway. Then mowed the lawn, felt good outside. Temp was in the 40's but felt great outside today in the sun. Temp tonight will be 32 and tomorrow will be up to 50.
