The Frozen Tundra of NFL Playoff Football Revisited

The Green Bay Packers have figured out how to adapt to Mother Nature's challenges. The Frozen Tundra is no longer frozen.  "The ground at Lambeau Field, legendary home of the Green Bay Packers, is heated. It has not been frozen during a football game since it was dubbed the “frozen tundra” more than 40 years ago.   And that impossibly green grass these days, despite the calendar turn to January? Trace it, in large part, to a new system of artificial lighting employed to counter the meek late-autumn sunshine in Wisconsin. Green Bay’s famed “frozen tundra,” besides being redundant — tundra is, by definition, frozen — is downright tropical, even during the N.F.L. playoffs."


This case study supports the claim that we can augment and offset Mother Nature once we understand what she is up to.
