I remember the 1989-90 NFC Championship game between the 49ers and Rams and it was a wet, messy field. Tom Rathman would get tackled, get up and have a huge chunk of grass in his helmet. Roger Craig has mud all over his uniform. The game had character. You lose that with the indoor ****. It actually lessens my enjoyment of the game when you take away the elements. It cheapens the game to a degree that isn't really needed if they'd just play the ****ing thing outdoors like normal people. If I want to watch indoor sports, I'd watch basketball.

Ehh, I'm kind of the opposite. Why should field conditions play a part in the outcome of the game? I want the best team to win.

Why don't they sporadically dump abut a 100 gallons onto the floor of the Continental Arena before the Nets play every now and then. OR set up a giant wind tunnel in the United Center so the Blackhawks can have that Chicago style wind during their games. I mean if its needed for football to be "authentic" or "natural" or whatever, shouldn't that apply to every sport too?

Ridiculous, no?

So why should Thomas Jones have to do hhis job every now and then on a muddy slip and slide?

I want to see the best team win and the best product on the field...Watching a game in the middle of a deluge where no one throws it more than ten yards down field and every play is 4 yards and an explosion of mud isn't a football game, its a "wait until the other side fumbles in the middle of this monsoon and we'll kick a field goal to win 6-3" Chinese standoff.

That sucks in my opinion.

I broke my ankle playing indoor soccer on that stuff. I've hated the **** ever since.

I like teams that play with the elements, but no one wants to play in the 100 degree heat, nor does anyone wanna watch the home team lose in that heat

i see it as a home field advantage having an outdoor stadium. all teams can play in the heat but when they gotta come to soldier field in january and its below zero it increases our chances of beating a team such as tampa, atlanta, etc (all southern teams). besides you gotta admit that pittsburgh game was sweet with the blizzard going on even though the game was awful.

weather's been a part of the game since the beginning, I don't like the idea of taking it out as time progresses, but like I said, heat isnt much of an advantage, as long as they leave it open during nice days ive got no problems

they will probably have that roof open 90% of the time, even if its all the way open, the hole is only in the center. I lived in AZ most of my life and the weather around football season gets cooler come week 1.

Its just part of the game.

How much would baseball suck if they added replay?

Please dont go Dr. Z on me and then say you think they should eliminate crowd noise. These guys get payed big bucks, they can handle it for the sake of tradition.

Im sorry but I have been to many card vrs niner games in tempe and I got to tell you it sucks ***. Its way to ****ing hot to sit there and watch football. I lived in phoenix for years and the last thing I wanted to do is sit in that ****ing heat any more than I had too. I had some really good seats on the 45 yard line and would have loved it more, But sitting next to some big fat sweaty dude in 110 degree weather was not fun or cool in any way. But the tail gate partys were ok arty:" class="inlineimg" /> It was like a niner home game
