    Crowd Noise, Intimidation, or History??

    As the bills square off against the Chiefs next week, we will hear much talk about the fans in KC and how hard of a place Arrowhead is to play at...
    We also hear of the "blackhole" for its intimidation, and Greenbay for its history and extreme temps.

    My questions is: where do you believe (in all sports) is the hardest place for an opponent to win?

    on the road against the Broncos.

    Dealing with the altitude alone makes it difficult. Add in the fans and a team that is traditionally a playoff contender and you've got yourself a toughie.

            Depends on time of year

            and where team is coming from but the swamp of Miami with heat and humidity makes September a very tough venue not to mention the fact you need to bring in bottled water since the local water will give you Montezuma's revenge quicker than you can say "caja de balota de la materia".

                C'mon, one loss ever below freezing? The Frozen Tundra. When it's frozen, that is.

                  I agree with these 3.

                    Prior to last year's thrashing of Green Bay by Atlanta, I would have said Lambeau Field. Given that fact, I must say it's Mile High in Denver (or Invesco Field, I'm not sure what coporate bs is in their name now) Rarely do you see a team go into Denver and push the Broncos around, yeah I know some teams give them fits, but they're always in their home games.

                      Mile High, for the altitude if nothing else.

                        Lambeau used to have the jinx and the mystique, but ever since the Falcons won that playoff game there last season, it's gone. Minnesota walked in there and kicked their asses. KC went in and pulled out a win too.

                        Not that I'm proposing it's the hardest place to win, but anyone who has been in Minnesota's Metrodome knows how incredibly loud that dome is. I was there last season for the Bills game and we could hardly even hear ourselves.

                          Gosh, that's a tough question. I think a lot of stadiums can be hard to win in for a lot of different reasons. Weather, fans, etc. I really can't say where I think the toughest win would be. I will say that one of the quietest stadiums I've ever been in is the Meadowlands for the Jets game. It was extremely quiet this past Sunday. And, I don't know if that's because they were 0-4 or what. I seem to recall it being a quiet stadium the last time I was there. I'm hoping to go to the Giants game. I wonder if its louder for them.


                          There's not a stone in my heart I've left unturned
                          Not a piece of my soul that I ain't searched
                          The only answer I found for all this hurt
                          Is there ain't not answer here on earth
