Crazy

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul has just announced at a news conference that the #Bills vs. #Steelers game is postponed to Monday at 4:30 PM.

So, I know lots of people hate the idea of a roof on the stadium the Chiefs play in at home, and apparently voters in Buffalo feel the same way.

However, I don't understand why anyone, anywhere, would be against a retractable roof.

I think maybe the concept of retractable is too complicated for them to understand.

So, the roof can be closed, stopping rain and snow from filling the stands and making the field trash.

So, the roof can be opened to expose players and fans to the elements. Just like a stadium without a roof.

You can literally have it both ways.

I don't think I can explain it better than that.

When the game was invented, outside was the only option. That doesn't make it the best option for today's game.

Grass field is probably the issue

i don't mind a little weather; football is supposed to be played outdoors. But there is a limit, imo. And blizzards/gale force winds is beyond the limit. If it was snowing but winds were 20 mph or less, play ball. Really, I don't care about the snow. Or rain. But when the winds go over 20-25, I don't think the performances we get are worth watching.

Buffalo bills fans shoveling inside the stadium 🏟️ getting paid $20 to do it. The bills stadium is in a residential neighborhood. So these guys walked there. Follow me for more cool posts pic.twitter.com/AYLAWPC3vc

Yep, that's exactly what happened last time.

Again, it's not "supposed" to be played outside.

Outside was the only damn option when the game was created. The first football game was only a few years after the Civil War.

How in TF would anyone from 1869 think to build a stadium with a roof? Or a play inside a huge building?

Saying football is "meant" to be played in the elements is a huge misnomer.

[Titty Meat]

Do the Bills just get to make up their own rules? Seems like it

Roof isn't the point here. The governor put in a travel ban.

oh, stop. Some of the best games in history were played outdoors, and many were played in some kind of weather.


For that matter, baseball indoors kind of sucks. I went to countless games at Busch stadium, rain or shine, and loved the atmosphere. Been to a dozen games here in PHX (when the Cards came into town), and never enjoyed it as much.


Football is an outdoor sport, period.

I understand that, but they wouldn't have to pay people to shovel snow every time this happens.

Hell, I think we should have a retractable roof, and the week before every cold weather game the Chiefs could ask STHs to take a poll to see if they want the roof open or closed on GameDay.

Then, if STHs want to sit in minus 30 degree winds, they can vote on it.

Because any time the weather were below some very modest threshold, the powers that be would be encouraged to use the roof in an effort to justify the investment. So 15 degrees is too cold for a game at Arrowhead? 20?

Yesterday's game was special at zero degrees and a legendary experience for those who attended. It would've been disappointing had the Chiefs fans been robbed of that.

100% this.

And, the best thing about yesterday's game, is that all of Raytown got to attend a Chiefs game for the first time since 2018.
