nick in* england Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 I got to agree.... It helps that we have FieldTurf as opposed to real turf...

Buffalo is 11% "tough"? Green Gay is 44% "tough"? What's the percentage mean? 11% of opposing teams win at RWS in Dec?

Fezmid Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 No way is New England harder to play in than Buffalo. Currently, because of their roster, that may be true. But overall (fan support, weather, etc) I don't think it is. Then again, I've never been in Gillette Stadium. CW

But overall (fan support, weather, etc) I don't think it is. Then again, I've never been in Gillette Stadium. CW 143775[/snapback] Agreed....I'll give this poll credit for at least putting Buffalo on the list. It always bothers me to see Pittsburgh & KC on these lists when they've blown homefield in the playoffs a combined 7 times in recent memory.
a player to be named later Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 I cant believe that NYC aint on there. Dodging ice chunks is harder than you think. All people remember is that playoff game (in January) where everyone was throwing the snow up in the air like fairies. OUT
R. Rich Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 .........or for the Dolphins: anywhere. 143741[/snapback] Same goes for New Orleans.
BillsNYC Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 I think the question wasn't worded right. THey should have asked Which stadium is the hardest to play in crowd/weather-wise in the NFL during December? I think Green Bay still has it, then us. People select New England simply because they're a good team.

Ridiculous.
KurtGodel77 Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 I'm surprised Denver didn't make the list. It gets mighty cold up in the Rockies. Add that to the thin air problem, and you've got a place that's hard to play in.
BRH Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Ten years ago the Ralph would have been the choice of 80 out of 100 people surveyed.
