Football in the snow is great, a football game ending at midnight in the middle of a blizzard not so great. Postponing it was the right thing to do.
They shouldn't schedule games in cold weather locations at that time once we get close to winter.
...adding, glance at numbers tells me at most 1/7-1/6 of attendees walk or take public transit normally to games. Bad weather could boost that number, but given that the regional rail system is shutting down about the time that the game would end there's really a limit to the number of people who can realistically use it at that time of night. And of course with that much snow there's no guarantee that the public transit system would continue functioning well. PATCO to South Jersey runs all night, but people from the PA suburbs wouldn't have had many options. If the game had been earlier this wouldn't have been an issue.
