The home team's record is certainly imposing.

But i wouldn't have guessed the crowd, etc. provide the second most challenging environment
in which to be a visiting team.

That's a fun read with photos but I don't feel it's a real good attempt at defining the stadium and fans, who are the major factors in making a list like that. All the top stadiums in the list have teams that are recently successfull. But, it's still a good read anyways.

Without even looking I'd have to think Denver is at least #3 but should be #1.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a season ticket holder and go to most of the games....but the reason Gillette is a tough place to play is because of what is on the field/sidelines.

Take the Saints team and coaching staff and put them in Gillette, and I don't think SI would be rating the Razor #2. The weather only comes into play, maybe 1-2 times per year (2-3 max).

The line for the RCA Dome just cracked me up:

The RCA Dome is the perfect track for the Colts to run wild. Peyton Manning & Co. are especially comfortable playing on turf and they've lost just two regular-season games there over the last two seasons.
Ah yes. Kings of the regular season.

When I started looking at the slideshow, I figured Denver would be #2 and Arrowhead would be #1. There's no way Arrowhead isn't #1, that place is psychotic.

freakin' hilarious!
