So here I am watching Green Bay vs. Philadelphia on Monday Night Football. I never understood Green Bay. Green Bay Packers: Wisconsin’s only NFL football team. Green Bay isn’t even a metropolis of Wisconsin. Milwaukee deserves one more than Green Bay. But then again, Milwaukee is so close to Chicago, they really should be rooting for the Bears anyways.
I don’t understand their choice of stadiums. I can remember watching those cold commericals in the 80s touting relief for colds caused by Green Bay Packer home games. Domeless stadium. Chill of the Wisconsin winter. People, build a domed stadium like everyone else in extreme weather areas.
I’m all for getting away from the oversaturation of NFL football in metropolitian areas. NYC has 2 teams (Giants and Jets). So does San Francisco/Oakland (49ers and Raiders). Do they really need 2 teams in their metro areas, while other states like Alabama and Nevada don’t have a NFL football team? Does it really come down to money, rather than being geographically fair? Alabama could support a football team. And I’m sure Las Vegas could to. Why not spread the NFL excitement around?
