Makes things too easy and convenient indoors ill be happy if we never get an indoor one.  

Heard from other players as well that's its not a big deal

Edit: I see above me a few posts that my sentiments were echoed.

If this is the case, why are we the only AFCN team without one? Why do teams spend so many millions on something so unimportant? Why do we trust Mike Brown to be the smartest man in the room?

Also, we play lots of games in fair weather or domes, after practicing in rain/snow/ice all week.

Also, players rarely throw the team under the bus for such things, because they dont want to burn bridges. That said, plenty of former players have clowned us for not having a facility.

Pat McAfee was making fun of it recently, and you could see it all over AJ Hawk's face, but AJ wouldn't come straight out and trash the Bengals over it. Big Whit complained about footing several years ago, not that it ever changes anyone's mind.

The cold can compromise your immune system somewhat, but it still won't prevent you from getting the flu, if you get it from an infected person.

You're right, but cold conditions and strenuous exercise both compromise the immune system and make it easier to get sick. That's probably why so many of our players came down with the flu after practicing in icy weather all week, leading up to that Texans playoff game.
