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).  

What a terribly bad faith argument.

The call for an indoor practice facility wasn't about practicing inside anytime it gets cold or hot. It's was about them being able to still practice anytime they wouldn't be able to otherwise practice (torrential downpour, lightning, freezing rain) that would either force you to cancel practice or gather everyone and their stuff together, board a team bus, and drive to UC as long as it's available and then you just wasted a ton of time.

The vast majority of practice is still done outside.
