Any Chance

that with the late start of the season that any of the games could be moved into the practice facility, or possibly a domed stadium? I understand that fans will most likely be very limited to player families, etc. I have no idea how that would work for TV, but it might be worth checking into. Boilers have had some ugly games in bad/cold weather contests.

Not sure if they'll end up doing this. With the shortened season, it looks like they are only playing a few weeks later than if this were a normal year.

the season is 2 weeks longer.

Not much difference in the weather between Thanksgiving and December 12.

We'll be sitting on our asses watching the game anyway so if it's freezing and snowing sideways, I'll just pour myself a strong one and say "Go Boilers".

The gameday weather is the least of the concerns. It’s the additional weeks of dormancy of the turf that is going to cause problems.

The turf issue is over-played.

Only 4 home games are played at R-A.

One game is played past the Thanksgiving weekend.

The turf is fine.
