It is pretty obvious that Yellowknife home games would become straight up RNG if taken out of a dome; Yellowknife winters IRL can be pretty rough. Yellowknife sees temperatures going slightly below 0 degrees Celsius in October, then it can dip to 30 below in the winter months. Playoff action on the frozen tundra of The Frostlands Stadium would take on an ethereal quality in the freezing winds, and reliable, passing oriented offensive patterns may not apply when the game gets down to the real nitty-gritty of bad footing, cold handed receivers, and trench warfare.
Philly and New York would also probably have potential of harsh crowds, if they could reshift their stadium design to have more sound reflecting down like the Seattle Seahawks do IRL. AS they are the cities with most naturally passionate sports fans, they'd be the cities most inclined to give the opposing quarterback hell at the line. Maybe Colorado could have an effect too, because of stamina and the thin air changing the passing game? idk.

Back in my day we had to play in all the sorts of the different weathers you would done see out there on that there football field. It could be hot one day, cold the next, and some days, it'd be a gosh darn hurricane or blizzard! But nowadays, these soft, panzie, new-age football players only want to play inside in a controlled environment. Heck, I remember when the weather came into direct consideration of what your team's game plan was for the upcoming game! If it was rainy, you ran the ball more, if it was snowy, you ran the ball more, if it was hot, you passed the ball more, and if for some reason you had a nuclear apocalypse, you delayed the game one night and hope it's solved by then. Nowadays, if one little nuke was to be dropped, the whole ISFL would piss their pants and cry themselves to sleep, talkin' about the end of the world and that nonsense. How I see it is, we still gotta play our games, radiation poisoning or not, and if some weird weather thing happens, run the ball more ya idiot.
Wraith Stadium is actually buried under about 40 feet of snow during the season. It takes a crew of nearly 50 brave Yellowknife volunteers about 8 hours to blow all the snow away from the entrances so the spooky crew can watch their team on game days. Of course this can be intimidating for visiting teams. Rookies who’ve never played in Yellowknife will stare wide-eyed at the towering walls of snow as they walk into the visiting team locker room, and warm climate teams have to bring heated jackets to make sure their players don’t freeze solid traversing the treacherous terrain. This weather goes both ways however. Yellowknife players, used to practicing and playing in the cold conditions, have a natural advantage at Wraith Stadium. But on the road the Wraiths struggle with the heat and, *gasp*, humidity of warmer climates. This give and take is why the ISFL Head Office continues to allow extreme weather stadiums such as Yellowknife.
I think that if the ISFL were to have to deal with more realistic weather then the season for the London Royals would be going a little bit better at this point in the season. This is mainly because, you may or may not know, London is known for its frequent rain. To my knowledge, no other team location in the DSFL has as much rain as we do here in London. Because of this, we would be a lot more used to playing in the rain then other teams in the DSFL. Two of our losses this season have come when we were playing at home, but because the weather is perfect we did not really have an advantage. I also think that as a team we would have more turnovers because it is harder to hold on to the ball in the rain. I believe that if it were realistic weather, and they were rainy games, we the Royals could be 5-2 and leading the North.
