Dome Teams....

[Henne Given Sunday]

I can understand a team like N.O. using a dome, since they have to deal with hurricanes. If Carolina's team was in Wilmington, I could see it being in a dome.

Now teams like Atlanta that play in a dome...they are just plain SOFT! Atlanta has beautiful weather, but they play their games indoors.

Can't figure that one out.

miami gets just as many hurricanes/tropical storms as NO, maybe more.....they dont/and will never play in a dome.....thats a poo excuse anyways.....as if a hruricane comes all the time, and if they would play through a hurricane.......

football should be played outside....on a rock and gravel parking lot.

All better now. :cheers2:

What about those teams like Dallas, Arizona, and Indy who have retractable domes? Are they just half-pansies?

[N'wahlinsCayenne]

What do you call people who are scared to play outside in the elements?

What do you call teams that insist on needing Mother Nature's help to beat some other teams?

What do you call teams that insist on needing Mother Nature's help to beat some other teams?

How would that be considered "help" if both teams are exposed to the same forces.

Dome teams suck, good article on why:

http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/Article.php?Page=668

Dome teams are 21-14 (.600) at home in the postseason. This record indicates that domes hold no advantage over any other home arena.

Dome teams are just 15-45 (.250) on the road in the postseason. This record indicates that dome teams have a disadvantage compared with other road teams.

The domes are built for the fans. Think about it, wet paper bags?

Interesting stats:

NFC South teams that have a dome are a combined 11-3

NFC South teams that have a stadium are a combined 3-11

More stats:

Home records for the past 5 seasons, including 2009: As the evidence shows NO is the worst.

TB: 21-15

CAR: 20-15

ATL: 20-15

NO: 18-18

Saints play like an Arena team...

The only teams where it would be alright to have a dome are teams that are in the desert, which there's only one so far, and northern teams cause they have extreme winter conditions. Any teams that don't meet those 2 conditions should not be allowed to have a dome.

I believe football should be played on a field of wooden pilings and a freshly cut glass field.
