HARDSHIP AND DISCIPLINE

No professional football team that plays its home games in a domed stadium with artificial turf has ever won the Super Bowl.

While a climate-controlled stadium protects players (and fans) from the misery of sleet, snow, mud, heat, and wind, players who brave the elements on a regular basis are disciplined to handle hardship wherever it's found. The Green Bay Packers were the 1996 Super Bowl champions, in part, because of the discipline gained from regularly playing in some of the worst weather in the country.
