Maybe football with snow?

[W1GUH]

The Fox game here is Denver at Minnesota. The forecast says flurries. Some potential there.

[W4GPL]

Am I missing a joke? Does't Minnesota play in the Metrodome?

[K7SGJ]

Yeah, but they can't afford to close and heat it.

[W1GUH]

Their new stadium is open. But no luck. Nothing so far.

[K7SGJ]

How bout a bonfire on the 50?

[W1GUH]

I might stand corrected. Just checked images on the web and it looks like a sliding roof?

[W4GPL]

You sure? :anyone:

On May 5, 2010, a Minnesota State House panel shelved a new Vikings stadium proposal by a 10-9 vote.

The December 12, 2010 roof deflation led to more calls for a new Vikings Stadium from various sources in the local and national media. Minnesota Governor-elect Mark Dayton plans to discuss the matter with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, but says "any new stadium must first benefit the people of Minnesota".

I'm watching the game, I can't tell. :lol: Edit: They're definitely in the old Metrodome.

[W1GUH]

Thanks. My google-fu turned up ambiguous results. So.. the old Metrodome. Darn! Was hoping for football in snow!

I couldn't tell from watching the game either.

I couldn't tell from watching the game either.Well maybe next year they're be in Denver and you'll get your wish. We're expecting another 3 to 6 inches tonight, on top of the damn near foot of snow that has accumulated over the last 4 days. *sigh* I love the cold, I hate the snow.

[W4GPL]

Ha. Or maybe is it snows so much the roof will collapse and they'll have more snow than they know what to do with. :D [/snarky]

I love football played in snow or under rough rainy muddy conditions. I'd love to see a game played through a blizzard. Just don;t count on any snow here in the northeast. Still feels more like summer.

[W1GUH]

Sure does. Maybe we'll be luck for the Superbowl when it's in the Meadowlands?

Real teams play in open-stadiums.

[K7SGJ]

Real teams play in cow pastures.

Real teams play in cow pastures.


Very carefully, of course.

Real football is played in the nude!!

[W1GUH]

Especially coed touch football.

[K7SGJ]

That explains the time penalty for long huddles, or cuddles as the case may be.

[W1GUH]

Aw....not even any snow in Green Bay today. Probably just as well, couldn't enjoy it anyway what with having to watch the Packers. Do the networks control the wx?

[W4GPL]

Edit: Might have spoke too soon.

[W1GUH]

Huh? Did it start snowing in Green Bay?

Well, the Broncos just tied the game. Cool. Knock out da Bears!

[W4GPL]

Haha - about 10 minutes ago I had said "it looks like Tebow isn't going to get it done today" and... I spoke waaaaaay too soon.
