theesir Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 I mentioned that earlier and think that is the reason. Russ this morning on the radio said there is no rule about having to be on the press box side. I was kind of annoyed with the way Howard brought it up. He laid it out as almost a joke to be asking (those silly fans) and never addressed the fact that forget the fans, the team is standing in the cold while the visiting team is more comfortable.

Simon Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 fwiw, once the game has started, the temperature is virtually irrelevant to players; unless it's 30 below or 105 you don't even really notice it.

Not to mention you'd want to play into the perception of unpleasantness as much as possible. I'm quite sure that if the press box was on the other side we'd hear half as much crap about it being cold.
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 "Observe on high ground and face the sunny side." The press box is on high ground and observes the sunny side. Is that a tactical advantage for the coaches up in the box? Probably. And you thought Bill Belicheat had us out foxed!

Not true. After a few minutes on a shaded sideline on a cold day, a player would feel less prepared to re-enter the game.
