I guess someone is just going to have to file a federal lawsuit and demand that the NFL make it fair. The Colorado Rockies should be required to use heavier baseballs because of the altitude and designing their team for home runs. And the Broncos should be forced to provide extra oxygen to visiting players, who are not used to playing with a little less oxygen at a mile high. Because of the Green Monster, the Red Sox should only be allowed to have a limited number of right handed hitters and pitchers, and when they face an opposing southpaw, they should be forced to also use a southpaw.

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 .

Oh yeah, and the Vikings used to pump fake crowd noise through their PA system at the Humpty Dump, and the NFL stopped that.
