SMC Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Some people may say that 41 degrees is cold. Some may say that 39 mph wind is inclement. Home team decides there. How many games at the Meadowlands have had winds of more than 39mph? I would guess less than 10 percent.. How many games at the Meadowlands have been when it rained or below 40 degrees? Remember, it doesn't have to be a combination. It has to be either. Every single December game this past season would have had a closed roof. The roof would have been closed in November for most of the month as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I couldn't care less about them. LOL. But the rules apply the same to them. The bottom line is that the NFL inclement weather rule would negatively impact the Jets and Giants late season/postseason homefield advantage.

Since you asked, 1 Giant game in November would have been shut-39 degrees. YOU said it was the NFL's decision whether the dome is open or closed. That is not entirely true. You acted in a pompous manner to some in explaining that, as if you were the arbiter of all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangreenman Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Actually, had the WSS been built the SB would have been played in NY this Sunday. Plus the NFL had pretty much guaranteed 3 SBs in the first 10 years to help get it built. ****ing Dolans! ...On the contrary...People are complaining about PSL prices now? Could you imagine how much more they would be if we weren't splitting with the Giants, and in the heart of one of the biggest, most expensive, sophisticated, cities in the world?

nyjunc Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I mistakenly forgot about Tampa, but the NFL dislikes Miami because of the rain and the poor facilities. Goodell said recently that the SB won't return unless there's an upgrade. It has nothing to do w/ the rain, it has to do w/ the facility and Miami is trying to make upgrades to their Stadium so they'll get SBs again soon after the refurbishments.

jetophile Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I like the weather being an element (and there's no parity there), but to get financially raped by two teams in the same building who are getting PSLs from two fan bases WITHOUT a dome is an atrocity. Screw Woody the cheapskate. He bent to the Maras, and screw those two a-holes first and foremost. Blah blah Tikki Barber held Wellington Mara's hand before he died, big sh it. Fukk the Giants and I hope they never win another game in their collective life time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 The NFL waived its "50 degree rule" to allow the New Meadowlands Stadium to put up a bid for Super Bowl 48. This isn't like we would be hosting it every four or five years, this is a once in a lifetime chance. If the NFL decides that this stadium should not not host, it is a disgrace. It makes zero sense that crucial December and January playoff games can be decided in snow, yet the Super Bowl can't. And yes, I understand the entire party thing, but who can throw a better party then NYC? Yes, its indoors, boo-hoo, for a once in a lifetime event, it is worth it. Of course if this does happen that will be the year that two warm weather teams, or dome teams, will meet and there will be 16 inches of snow Saturday into Sunday afternoon.

I can't complain too much about how we're doing now, because I got to experience the thrill of rushing the court in Richmond Coliseum (in front of an ESPN audience) when we won the CAA Title, and also attend our NCAA Tournament game against George Washington. Hopefully the good times return, and soon. Plus, our baseball team looks poised to reach the Super Regionals (baseball version of Sweet 16) this year. Wooh!

Maxman Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Just wondering do you think this impending snow storm hurt the new stadiums chances of getting the Super Bowl? Even though the area around the stadium is only suppose to get 3-6 inches, it clearly shows the potential for a blizzard to happen during the Super Bowl. Which I am sure the NFL does not want. Just a thought... This is a really good thread. Everyone the Jets and Giants were able to bid on the Super Bowl in 2014. The NFL waived the cold weather clause. A Super Bowl in the new stadium is being considered now. Why? I think it is to help them sell the naming rights to the stadium. From December: http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/articles/show/3499-super-new-stadium-can-bid-for-2014-game And I think 1015 is correct - this could hurt the chances of them winning the bid. The No Fun League couldn't have celebrities sitting out in the snow and cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
