Minnesota-Philly Ppd...WHAT?
-
Because Philadelphia gets one or two storms a year (usually) and freaks out. That, and the area is extremely crowded population wise with New York, Baltimore and DC within a hundred some miles.

Am I in the minority here? Why is this game being postponed until Tuesday?
Unless it's a thunderstorm, football needs to be played. There have been many games played in cold/blizzard conditions. Looks like the NFL wants 32 domes....

how exactly do you expect fans to get to the stadium?

Plan accordingly, seems reasonable to me.

Its a bit hard to drive to the stadium with 20 inches of snow on the ground, not to mention 50 mph gusts of wind.
BTW, what is the symbolism of your avatar, with the S-Hawks logo?

ESPN.com had a bunch of logos last year, making fun of lousy teams. I liked it, and put it on here (always hated Seattle).
I disagree with postponing the game. I think it sets a bad precedent for the NFL.

They are calling for 6 to 12 inches of snow, not twenty. The Mayor is over-reacting in my opinion.

A better precedent would be for people to die on the roads trying to get to the game in blizzard like conditions.

No this is a consirpacy...
The nfl will do anything to try to get farve enough time to play

It's not getting there, it getting out with a parking lot of 40,000 cars in 2 feet of snow. It would be pandamonium, Hulksters.

It was reported on the pregames shows this morning that they could get up to 20" of snow in the area around the stadium.

although i agree it would be a cool experience to watch a game to rival the outdoor games of latter years, they had to postpone it for 2 reasons:
1. safety reasons as pointed out by previous posters and
2. revenue loss by the city and nfl
besides us tuning in would have to sit through gruden and jaws yammerin on about "this is footbal" yadda yadda yadda while we at home are trying to see the game with zero visibility.

#2 seems to be the driving force. Tom Jackson & Trent Dilfer echoed that last night.
The "safety issue" is minor, as most people in snowy climates find a way to deal with the weather.

I agree with you Bob, that game should have been played.
Lost revenue? What about the fan that had that game circled on their calendar, came in to visit Mom & Pop and took an extra day off work already to stick around the area to catch the Sunday game ... but now can't attend the make-up game?
I remember attending that game about 6 years ago against San Diego where the streets were closed, yet we still trucked down to the stadium for the game.
