So if this were the case for every NFL team, then I most likely wouldn’t have been able to buy endzone front row seats last season in Minnesota to see my team at an away playoff game. This rule would be a double edged sword. No thanks.
Fair point. I would think the NFL isn't too keen on the idea for that reason, but I'm not sure how much control they exercise over each franchise's ticketing practices.
I agree that its a tough but understandable step if ownership/management actually believes that the noise/atmosphere in the Dome is something that can change the outcome of a game of this magnitude. I don't know how far our current advantage could be ratcheted up by restricting secondary market availability, but its not unreasonable to believe it could make a difference, right? We're not talking about a best of 5/best of 7 series as in other sports: the one-and-done nature of the NFL playoffs makes the stakes of having a legitimate homefield advantage even higher.
