The NFL has done lost it's mind!

NFL has considered widening the playing field 35 feet, and reportedly may revisit the idea

200 point games or bust!

Good thing Ray Ray retired.. He was having trouble covering his 5 yards as it was, he'd need a hover round on a bigger field.

I guess Philli fans will be able to pee down the backs of their favorite players instead of wing batteries at them.

It's a shame that giant vagina in chocolateville douched instead of swallowed.

To all nay-sayers of this idea, I counter by saying "Yay!" as this would result in a huge economic boost with more jobs being created as die-hards in electric football leagues around the world would need to buy correctly-sized playing fields.

Horrible idea!

Goodell is now a person of interest...

The game of football was not conceived to have a four monsters who weighed 250 lbs at 6 ft 4 running 4.5 forty times playing linebacker behind three 310 lb minimum lineman going against another five 320 pound OLs.

The players have gotten bigger. Expanding the field a mere 35 feet is pretty reasonable.

And as someone who follows the CFL pretty closely (And let me say, the field is a lot more than 35 feet wider...), I can say that concussions, while still an ever present threat due to the nature of the game, occur with far less regularity or severity than they do in the NFL or NHL.

Another way to reduce concussions would be to allow DBs to play more physical on opposing WRs at the line, but we know everyone loves offense too much for that to happen.

Why would you want to tinker with the best sport on the planet by far? I simply do not understand.

I would support different value field goals based on distance before bigger fields.

And you think the lack of concussions in CFL has nothing to do with the huge disparity in talent when compared to the NFL?

In a stadium like Arrowhead there would hardly be any room left on the sidelines. The crowd is pretty much already on the field as is. At least compared to other stadiums where the crowd is 25 yards from the action.
