Will global warming affect the Packers' success?

Bad enough the Packers lost No.4, but now will they lose their home field advantage too?
Global warming could remove those icy cold days and snowstorms. An analysis has found that cold weather teams won more than 65% of their home games played from November to January against warm weather teams from 1998 through 2005.

This is not a serious comment on global warming on my part. So it makes no difference on which side of the fence you are on about global warming.
I dont know. Maybe its a built in excuse if the Packers start struggling again.

Reread the post Seahawker. It says an analysis was done that showed cold weather teams won 65% of their games in cold weather when playing warm weather teams. That means all cold weather teams, not just the Packers and it sounds like more than a coincidence to me.
Its something fans have always been aware of. It goes the other way too. Who wants to play in Arizona or Dallas in the summertime unless you are the Bucs or the Dolphins?

I don't think global warming is a scam, it's fact. And when the coastline eliminates cites, I guess the stadiums will go with them, so more home field advantage for the Packers.
