Weather's effect on NFL teams

[Randall]

This year Houston was devastated by a hurricane and had to play the first several games on the road. We know what happened to New Orleans.

 

How did this affect the Texans? Should the NFL have a plan for gulf coast cities if/when this happens again? There are several cities that could be impacted by more hurricanes.

Of course, NFL should have such plan .All teams must have equal playing conditions

You mean like Green Bay in January versus Miami in September?

Someone tell the Bears and Steelers that because their fields are awful.

 

3 minutes into the Bears/Packers game the other night there was already talk about problems with footing outside the numbers. I can understand that a field may get torn up in the middle where all of the action is but if you can't keep a field together outside the #'s for more than 3 minutes in a game then maybe it's time you need to put in some astroturf.....or hire a new head groundskeeper at least.

I mean that playing on the road is inadmissible

Inadmissable? Are we in court?

 

Unlike baseball the fields are uniform but the stadiums and weather are not. It's very difficult for cold weather teams to play in 93 degrees and humidity in september(or heat in Arizona) too. Home field advantage.
