What we have just seen is an attempt to "never let a crisis go to waste" by the NFL. They had allowed the Chiefs and Bills teams and the stadium owners in Atlanta to start selling tickets to the AFC championship game at a "neutral site" to be fair to the Bills since they had one less game played after the cancelled game that couldn't be made up. This proposal was voted on by the NFL team owners, they needed 24 votes to approve it, they got 25. What they were really doing was to wrestle control of the two championship games away from the home team and next year put them "up for bid" by the four mega-domed stadiums in the league. Then they don't have to deal with the cold weather games and the NFL controls ticket and advertising sales and makes more profit. Too bad for them the Bengals threw a wrench into the plan and won the game in Buffalo.
Yep totally this. Several of the owners with these mega-domes also have crappy teams on the field. Mad because they aren't getting any money from those playoff games. Tried to take advantage of this guy's medical emergency to get greedy.
Nice try guys--the AFC championship goes through Arrowhead (again, and again, and again, and again.)
P.S. Domes suck.
