There are a lot of reasons why the Saints' 2013 season will be SPECIAL

I agree w/ this logic. However consider that the Saints are making two fundamental changes with the team:

1. A bigger and more physical defense
2. A commitment to the running game

I think both bode well for playing outdoors in winter.
Right, but while there is NO advantage to a dome team playing a grass team indoors, theres a huge advantage to the grass team playing a dome team on grass. In the history of the game, no dome team has ever won a SB against a grass team on grass and I assure you, they wont.

I will retract my thoughts only IF we win EVERY away game on grass, OR get to the SB by playing on the road. But I know Im a little ahead here because it definitely comes down to WHO we play during the dance of whether or not we'll even have a chance at winning.
