Amazing how a Week 1 loss, where Payton didn't trust an effective running game, but trusted the No. 5 CB (Harris), may cost us home-field advantage in the playoffs...

Home field advantage is over rated. See 2016 13-3 Dallas Cowboys

.

Everyone is 0-0 & battle tested come playoffs. One slip up ... done.

Especially in the Dome. The visiting team fans are showing up in record numbers and making noise when they want to. Not exactly producing "Fan Impact Plays", but it's unnerving.

All the while, the Season Tix - Club seats sit on their hands. You stand up and shout and you'll be told to sit down and "enjoy the game".

Let's just WIN.

So you saw this in the Dome this season? And where do you get your record number of visiting fan statistics? How many games have you personally attended in the Dome over the past couple of years?

Have others here experienced this? I know I haven't.

Well?

FOUR. Been coming for YEARS to two games per year. Some away games as well. And I sit all over the dome, usually between the 30's. Most recently with Budsdrinker in 127, however.

YOU? WELL?

And you still say the visiting fans are coming in record numbers and implying that they are unnerving our team with their noise? And you have season ticket holder telling you to sit down and enjoy the game and not shout? I've also been attending a couple of games a year and have never experienced this. Can anyone else here verify what Alaska Saints is implying? It's never been my experience nor anyone else's that I've checked with that are regular Superdome fans.

Bullshinski...Ask Vikings if they'd like to have played that NFC Championship Game in Minnesota?

That game's not in the Dome, we're not in the Superbowl - Brett Favre even said it was the difference in that game...

And we earned that home field advantage and because of that, we earned that Superbowl...

Some teams are better than others with the home field - Superdome used to be the toughest, think Seattle has that title right now...

Now if you're Atlanta, not so much...
