Why does the NFL play way less games than other sports?
In: 12
Also since American football is primarily an outdoor sport weather plays a big factor in scheduling. If you started the season earlier you’d be dealing with a lot of places from Florida up through the Midwest still having temperatures near or above 100F and if you end the season later you’ll have a lot more places with temperatures at or below freezing. If you converted all the stadiums to doomed stadiums you could probably get a few extra games out of players/teams for the right amount of money but the cost to replace roughly half of the stadiums might just be too high.
