[Whatever]

2022 we had kickoff in Buffalo at 32 degrees and then 22 degrees in Kansas City.
2021 we had kickoff in Tennessee at 35 degrees and then 41 degrees in Kansas City.

Last year the Steelers went to Buffalo in a 17 degree kickoff game and the Ravens hosted the Texans in a 27 degree kickoff game.

All outdoors. We don't want to be a dome team heading into that.

The new stadium proposal for the Browns is a dome.

We've seen the Packers lose with home field advantage to a variety of warm weather/dome teams in recent years.  

It just seems strange that everyone complained about a lack of an indoor practice facility for forever, but want the team to play outside in cold temperatures and bad weather because they think it will lesson the other team's home field advantage.  If that's the case, why not have them practice outside like they did for forever?  You can build a domed stadium and hold practice outside the week before a road playoff game to acclimate players (not that any team does this).
