Nice straw man argument. Physics of the atmosphere is physics, and both teams hit the ball as far in Denver. Denver’s elevation affects both teams and is a fact of location. Boston’s stadium is the oldest in baseball, and was the result of the stadium foot print. Both teams again get to hit the ball the same distance, and that wall has hurt the Redsox as much as it has helped them over the years. This is FUNDAMENTALLY different. The stadium was engineered to give the home team an advantage and that’s BS. If it’s okay for the Seahawksto do that, the visiting teams should be allowed a technological response .

I was just jerking your chain. I understand the argument. What is interesting is that, until the Seahawks became a really good team, their stadium did not seem to be a major concern. The Chiefs generate almost an equal amount of noise. Did the NFL have any input in the construction of the stadium? Is it borderline breaking the rules? I do not know the answer.

The stadium doesn’t MAKE noise, it KEEPS the noise the fans make. And remember both teams have to deal with the noise.
