The game may become the most watched show in history depending on the matchup.
None of that will change.
What will change tho is the possible product on the field. The weather def can play into the hands and against certain teams and offenses. Yes...that is fooball, the nature of the game.
I love cold weather football. Love goin to PItt in the cold of the winter and snow blowing. Love it.
but i also think that the SB should be held in a warm weather city or dome so on game day....the weather is benign and really doesnt favor any team. I like a level playing field in the championship game. One of the reasons why I wouldnt want the Ohio High School football champs in columbus is if theyd play on the Crew field.....if the weather is bad then ya dont get a gauge on whom the best tea really is..
The warm weather or dome conditions do favor certain teams. I think it is a little misleading to say that it doesn't favor a certain team. If a team such as the Saints were to play a physical run-based team, don't you think it would be a big advantage to the Saints style to play in a dome or in warm weather?
What I am getting at is when the conditions are benign we should get a better idea of whom the better team is.
A good, clean, dry track shouldnt favor, or should I say hinder, a certain team at all.
When the weather is good and no rain or snow......that is the most even playing field. Ya dont hear any type of talk of how "oh this dry weather was a big factor in this game"...ya only see that in adverse conditions where it condenses what a team can do.
Real football is played in the elements. Some teams are built better for certain elements. Finesse teams do better in domes and cold weather. Physical teams do better in cold, wind, rain, snow, ect. For example, if the Saints played the Ravens, don't you think the Saints would gain an advantage by playing in a dome, and the Ravens would gain an advantage with wind, snow, etc. ? Regardless of where it is played, the team that plays better for 60 minutes on that Sunday will win the game.
