My wife and I have been debating the merits of going to the game or staying home.

Of course, I'm all for going to the game if it isn't postponed or cancelled, but my wife is a little iffy about making the two and a half hour drive from Richmond in the middle of a storm.

We've got a couple of rain suits, and I've worked outside in these kind of conditions before, so the rain and wind is no big deal for me. Plus, I feel like if I spent all that money for the tickets and parking pass, we'd damn sure better use them.

I guess it really comes down to whether or not it will actually be safe to make the trip to and from the game. I really feel like the league should postpone or cancel any game when weather conditions present a significant danger to fans who may be travelling to the game. I realize football is a sport that is traditionally played in any kind of weather, but there has to be some common sense concessions made for the safety of the fans.

The only thing that sucks is if the game is cancelled, I can't get a refund, because I bought my tickets from a ticket broker.
