I'm going to ahead and say that there is an excellent chance that Buffalo is going to still be getting dumped on via lake effect on Monday. And it is going to be freezing cold. JAWSH WEATHER.
Miami weaponized the sun when they built their stadium. They deserve tonight.
Both the Chefs and Fins are gonna suffer needlessly tonight.
I'm including warm weather teams too. Miami won't be allowed to keep the other team in a sunlight sauna wearing dark colors. 60-70 degree games everywhere. Yes we can.
Moving the game time seems reasonable to me, for safety reasons. What if there was a hurricane in Miami ... everybody understands the necessity of cancelling or moving the game? It's not quite to that level but its close enough. It isn't safe staging the event in terms of coming, going, covering. Similarly fan safety in too frigid temps is an issue, but that's one with no precedent. I always wonder how there are no heart attacks in the stands in such conditions.
Has a playoff game ever been cancelled or moved because of weather? Would be worth looking into. I doubt it.
There's also like a badge of honor feeling about going to games in bad weather. Going to work the next day and people saying "you went to that game?"
I also feel like if you build a dome you create a sterile environment. Tailgating here would drop dramatically. Very difficult to dress for two different climates (10 degrees in the parking lot, 70 in the stadium).
Every new NFL stadium from here on out should have a dome with retractable roof. End of story. It's 2023 ffs.
I know the Steelers/Bills delay is due more to the driving ban, but this KC/Miami game tonight is gonna be awful. Oh, you're a great NFL team that made it to the playoffs with speed and elite skill. Let's play your playoff games on the planet Hoth. And let's have NFL games in a monsoon or a foot of snow. SO MUCH ADVERSITY.
If Miami were better, they wouldn't need to play a winter sport in winter conditions. It's football, not cricket, get over it
