Actually playing on their own home field? Sleeping in their own beds? Presumably having a significant advantage in the crowd? I don't think the fact that they have to put on their pads in the other locker room eliminates everything else that comes with home field advantage.Other than familiarity/ comfort level, exactly what HFA would MIN have? Wouldn’t they have the visitors locker room as the NFC champion road team?
You're going to suck this game?Daughter (7) didn’t like that Eagles were dogs @ home. Trying to lift their spirits. Last week I found out she was a commie. Tough 2 weeks.
Seriously? The play was blown dead as soon as the play clock ran to zero. The NFL has enough real rules issues without making new ones up.Philly should have had the option to decline. NFL rules. Sheesh.
Into the wind.Foles is as accurate as someone trying to take a piss blindfolded.

While I agree generally both teams will be staying in hotels, even the Vikings.Actually playing on their own home field? Sleeping in their own beds?

35 is a lot of points for one quarter.Feels like this game should be 35-0 and it's 3-0.
You know what I mean.35 is a lot of points for one quarter.

Why? For the entire week?While I agree generally both teams will be staying in hotels, even the Vikings.
That would be like a recordajayi is gonna get 690 touches today
If the Eagles can score 14 points, they have a shot, IMO. Matt Ryan and that team speed don't play as well away from the dome.If Ajayi goes for 200 yards, Eagles have a shot.
I could be wrong, but not sure there’ll be much of a crowd advantage.Actually playing on their own home field? Sleeping in their own beds? Presumably having a significant advantage in the crowd?

I don't know how that's possible. I've been to 2 Super Bowls, and both of them were well attended by fans of the teams playing, but there was still a lot of locals at the game. If the Vikings get the normal amount of fans any team would get, plus all the locals that go to the game, the crowd advantage should be significant. Maybe not as significant as a normal regular season game, but certainly not negligible either.I could be wrong, but not sure there’ll be much of a crowd advantage.
No. In the case of the super bowl being in the home stadium of one of the participants, that participant, regardless of home or away designation, will be allowed to use their own locker room. They will have away team designation with regards to the coin toss and jersey.Other than familiarity/ comfort level, exactly what HFA would MIN have? Wouldn’t they have the visitors locker room as the NFC champion road team?
Forgetting the split, the secondary market is where participating team fans get the tickets. Not having to worry about flights/hotel costs, MN fans could afford to bid out other fans that may have to budget in those other costs.aren't SB tickets split 1/3 to the participating teams and the rest for the NFL?
Never occurred to me, but can you imagine the paranoia levels that would be reached if someone had to play the SB in Gillette against the Pats?No. In the case of the super bowl being in the home stadium of one of the participants, that participant, regardless of home or away designation, will be allowed to use their own locker room. They will have away team designation with regards to the coin toss and jersey.

It's unclear whether they have to stay in the Radisson Blu or can opt to sleep at home.
