If a team can't make the game, then it should be a forfeiture.

No pick up, no pay, what ever the reason. Lose time to weather? No extra pay, not even extra reefer fuel money if running the reefer. FOOTBALL, on the other hand, is IMPORTANT! Money talks so, no matter what, that game WILL go on.

BUT this is a profession sport where grown men kick and run around with a ball made of pigskin.

Pretty much something that isn't as important as it is made out to be.

Seems fitting considering the year they're having.

LOL!! Wanna bet? It would not surprise me if Detroit PAID the NFL to move the game to Detroit just to get a little TV time!!

Dont know could be right they announced here in St Louis that the city here offered our stadium for the game which could have brought money here too from the fans coming here hotel rooms? food? fuel? taxes for the city and state that includes the city income tax that players have to pay the city here

not a stadium collapse but a fabric roof tear. or the roof falling in on the vikings. detroit got the game because it is domed and the nyg only have indoor game ghear with them.

announced as free to detroit residents. it will be interesting to see how many purple clad fans make the drive for the game.

There are other dome stadiums like the one we have in St Louis so Detroit didnt get the game just cause they have a dome
