Listen. All I'm saying is, Vikings fans think the Dome is on the second tier of homefield advans (first tier is Lambeau, Yankee Stadium, etc) and I say it's not. For MN-GB games, I think the advan does not exist.

Chalk it up to proximity of the teams, the local fans of this series' teams, whatever.

"Domefield" advan is NOT a factor in this series. Plain and simple. Obviously at this point, I'm not changing anyone's mind, and vice versa.

That being said, beat those *ers from the east, and let's be done with it. ;)

Who's changing the subject?

His articles are heavily peppered with accusations of artificial noise, which IIRC was substantiated by the NFL.

It doesn't disprove the ratio of pro-/anti-fans of the Vikings, which was my main reasoning of the non-home-field advan for the MN-GB series in the first place. :p

No, your original question I answered was to Handy telling him to prove that homefield exists...judging crowd ratio from on TV is just flawed to begin with...:p

Nothing would disprove anything to a dingus like you. You'd have some zany excuse to dismiss any article that is posted.

Why? It was obvious during the MN-WI game today, from the screen shots. There were two corners that had WI fans, and the rest of "The Bank's" seating were MN, from the looks of it. I have yet to see that ratio (with the same crowd shots) for a MN-GB game in the last 10 years.

BOX. :D

It was obvious because the announcers said it, then made it a point to show the corner. :p

They showed a full screen crowd shot, which showed at least 2/3 the stadium, and the upper left and upper right corner sections were red, while the rest of the stadium was gold (some maroon).

I have not seen that ratio for MN-GB games, and you know my NFL viewing habits.

BOX. Wait, you can't see that, since it's a BOX. :eek: :p

They did that to show the ratio...they have never done that for any <strike>GB/MN</strike> NFL game I have ever watched.

EDIT: And you still have nothing on the original point of the homefield advantage argument that started this whole thing.

BOX.

Yes I do. They show full-side (or more) shots for NFL games (usually going to or coming from commercial break, such as the MN-WI game today). And never have I seen the same ratio in a MN-GB game.

And I rely on my viewing history which is probably averaging 11 hours each NFL Sunday for the last, oh I dunno, 15-16 years?! (And every Mon night game for the same time period)

Frankly, I think you like saying "box" because that is about the closest you have ever been to one.:eek:

Ratio (especially when it FAVORS THE HOME TEAM) does nothing to disprove homefield advantage...

And you know that's not true about box. :D

MNS: When dealing with idiots, never sink to their level. They'll beat you with experience. ;)

Sure it does. If I see 67-33 for home fans.....that's just wrong.

And TPIWWP. :p
