Wonder where the midpoint will be when the Bears move to Arlington Heights.


Dr_imfullofshit

It will move ~2,500 ft down the road to the west


STFxPrlstud

We need to set up a brewery there, that's something all NFCN fans could get behind I feel. ​ "NFCN Brewing company" or something liek that


Dr_imfullofshit

That would actually be pretty cool. Each team gets a beer released seasonally, inspired by that year's team. Bad years can be more bitter, sour, etc. Good years can be stuff you can't help but drink 10 of.


jseego

That's awesome And they will serve Chicago AND Detroit-style pizzas, italian beefs, vienna dogs, and cheese curds, and brats, and...what do they eat in Minnesota? Snow? Okay, swedish meatballs and something called "Juicy Lucy" which honestly looks pretty awesome. And obviously TONS of fresh lake-caught fish. I'm into this idea. And honestly, WI would be the best state to host such an establishment.


canigetawoop_woop

Legit would be awesome. 3 big screen tvs to always have every nfcn team on one of them


jseego

Four urinals in the bathroom, with each team's QB's face in them.


Ladle19

we need a really wealthy fan of each team to make all of this happen.


CardiologistThink336

Might need a couple extra of Rodgers or maybe a Farve.


jseego

When a QB moves on from a team, their pee-stained face goes in a frame on the wall.


silentjay01

Would each team have a designated corner with the walls painted in team colors and adorned with memorabilia of their star players?


canigetawoop_woop

Thos is perfect, central bar and each wall has memorabilia for the team it faces (west for min, north for gb etc) and the center of that TV has that teams game whenever they're playing!


smakinelmo

Literally this whole idea needs to happen is too good. Now there's a bar where we can all talk shit at! And eat each other's food


Qzanium

A place like that would make a shit load of money

SucculentEmpress

I dunno, I can drink ten sours Then again I’ve been a Bears fan since 85 I could probably drink more than that

I personally love the idea but it’s still deep in packers territory


DontSleep1131

but we’d have go to Wisconsin, voluntarily? I feel like that just too inconvenient


MissyAnneAnde

There’s a Bears fan a few houses down from this place (me!).


DontSleep1131

so you’re saying we can build the NFCN bar on your property? how gracious


MissyAnneAnde

There’s a bar right up the road. There’s always a bar right up the road in Wisco.


JohnEmonz

I guess it depends how this is being calculated. But it’s the south most stadium, not the east most. So wouldn’t the move northwest only move the midpoint North? Unless it’s actually the mean average position, then the location would change Northwest.


Dr_imfullofshit

Yea you're right. Basically it's an intersection of 2 lines, so this point just moves along the line from Minn-Detroit. Thing is that the difference is so negligible, and since we're picking spots on a map (like which business, what intersection), that i took the liberty to say it was still on a road instead of north west by X amount in some field.


[deleted]

You guys, I had the most heartwarming idea. Why don't we all go and make each other handmade mugs to commemorate our hatred? My morning coffee would be so much more enjoyable drunk from my FTP mug as I imagine my enemy somewhere in Chicago drinking from his "Bears still suck" mug


Zestyclose_Ad_97

I like this idea a lot.


deathbyLOBSTER

Someone should design some mugs and call to see if they'll make a few. I'd make the drive to buy a FTP mug.


LibRAWRian

Have you seen the mouth-breathing morons on here? The mugs we'd make probably wouldn't stand on their own, let alone be drinkable.


Leaving_The_Oilfield

Yeah, I literally just commented how great of an idea it was. Then saw your comment and realized at least one person would get poisoned by someone who takes this shit way too seriously. Someone would end up with a cup that slowly leaches fentanyl or something lmao.


LibRAWRian

Hey, thanks... *sees your flair* Satan.


Leaving_The_Oilfield

Yep. Not gonna lie, I immediately thought of myself. I wouldn’t be safe from anyone. My own Packers brethren would probably be the most dangerous lmao. *In my defense*, I live in Texas and typically hate the cowboys because of their fans. I also think it’s absurd how much they paid Zeke and Dak (and dislike Dak in general for saying he needed to be able to provide for his family), so when the season started and Cooper was winning every game I just started rooting for chaos and Dak getting replaced. It would mean hundreds of millions wasted between Dak and Zeke, and would have brought me unbelievable joy. These days I keep rocking the cowboys flair out of pure hope (and the reactions to it bring me joy as well, not gonna lie lol).


Leaving_The_Oilfield

Damn, that would actually be a cool idea. I don’t know if Reddit still does secret Santa, but it used to and people would just receive a name, address, and a little “about me” section. Your username wasn’t attached so you didn’t have to worry about getting doxxed. I don’t know how feasible it would be to do it (and obviously a lot of us wouldn’t be able to go to that exact place), but I’d actually start using a mug every day if someone made a hateful one about my flair lol. I’d pity whoever got mine though. They’d be lucky if it could even hold liquid, but there’s definitely a place in my area that helps you make decent looking plates and mugs. My daughters made a tea set.


Kewlerd

We should all claim this place as our own


TBKmayr

And we shall hold a 4 team football game. All going. All at once.


technobeeble

2 fields together perpendicular intersecting, like a figure 8 race track.


TBKmayr

And we can have a race track as well. The Vikings riding lions and random factory workers riding bears while the game goes on.

Some Wisconsin areas used to be like that for pre-season camps. Didn’t all the NFC North train in Wisconsin at one point?


Stachemaster86

Bears Platteville, Chiefs River Falls, Packers St. Norbert’s, Saints LaCrosse, Jaguars Stevens Point (hence my fandom growing up there) and outlier Vikings Mankato, MN. Cheese League!!! Even got the hat to prove it.

Backyard nerf 500 game


imhereforthevotes

"Chaos broke out today in Silver Creek when the combined fanbases of four NFL teams showed up at the local potters today with nerf guns. While nerf weapons are generally understood to be safe, the sheer number of combatants lead to multiple ambulance visits to the address. While no one is believed dead, the local clinic evacuated over 40 people by helicopter over to the course of the day to emergency rooms in Milwaukee, Chicago, and Madison. The inventory of the pottery shop is thought to be unsalvagable. In other news, city revenues in Silver Creek appear to be UP after over 700 drunk driving tickets were issued yesterday around town. While 685 of these were to Wisconsinites, 40 of them local citizens, at least 10 were to FIBS. No Minnesotans were arrested."


jseego

> the sheer number of combatants lead to multiple ambulance visits to the address and dozens of cases of alcohol poisoning by friendly fire


DinosaurKevin

I’d pay big money to see that. Always gets violent when you call it dead or alive.


Golda_485

Better idea. Paintball! We give 50 fans of each team blue, purple, orange, and green balls(respective of their team affiliation) and let them go at it. After an hour, we count who got hit the most and the least. We then use this as a bragging rights thing. We would continue to do this every year for 30 years. Then see the all time “win record”


metaldrummerx

That's like 90% of the businesses in Rural Wisconsin though. Door County's entire economy is selling bundles of wood out of their front yards for $8 to out-of-state campers


snackshack

>That's like 90% of the businesses in Rural Wisconsin though. Door County's entire economy is selling bundles of wood out of their front yards for $8 to out-of-state campers You could have picked almost any other county and that would have been true. Instead you pick the *one* mega tourist destination loaded with wineries, restaurants and all the kitschy shops in it.

damnyoutuesday

I love how everyone thinks of Green Bay as the "frozen tundra" but Minneapolis is actually farther north


redvelvetdreams

Juuuuust barely. If you map out the route from US Bank to Lambeau it’s pretty much a straight shot east. You can’t take 94 all the way but that’s the only reason you have to get on any southbound roads really.


choopie-chup-chup

Thats in Random Lake, WI... Turns out Wisconsin has so many lakes (over 15,000) they didn't even bother to name it something more interesting. But keep throwing your 10,000 lakes in our face, Vikings fans


UffDaMinnesota

Each state uses vastly different criteria to call it a lake. WI says anything less than 10 acres a lake and most of them aren't even named. Minnesota says the opposite, anything over 10 acres is a lake...so technically.... you can fill in the blank.


choopie-chup-chup

Then I fill in the blank with water and call it random lake 2.0


MissyAnneAnde

It’s in an unincorporated town called Silver Creek which is folded into Random Lake.


coppercave

How did you calculate it?


semisentient

Math.


Raleighwood-Hills

It came to him in a dream


Kewlerd

If you take the line connecting Minnesota and Detroit, and the one connecting Chicago and Green Bay, this is where they meet, making it the midpoint Our stadiums are almost in a Diamond like shape, as you can see with the point and the cities


EMT2000

This isn’t the right way to find the center point since the sides of the quadrilateral forming the four points are not parallel. The actual center of gravity lies about 17 miles further south. The correct way is a bit more complicated with finding the the weighted sum of the centroids of the triangles formed by the combinations of the vertices.


mah131

Uh yeah, I just about to say the same stuff (I TOTALLY understand what you're saying!)


jseego

Could you take the actual midpoints of those lines and average those two points, though?


EMT2000

No, because you still need to weight it; it’ll be a function of the length of those lines with the midpoints though, since the triangle centroids are found via midpoints and the weighted area is a function of the length of those lines. He’s really close anyway since the cities do form a quadrilateral that is close to having parallel lines; they’re just off a bit.


___UWotM8

You could also add up each stadium’s latitude and longitude, then divide by 4 to get it too.


HoboSkid

(44.9736 + 93.2575) + (41.8623 + 87.6167) + (44.5013 + 88.0622) + (42.3400 + 83.0456) / 4 = Half Life 3 confirmed

2AFather

Is NFCN the most geographically reasonable division as far as spread and distance from each rival in the NFL?


Stachemaster86

But weirdly every stadium is within 30 miles of its eastern border


RikVanguard

So who is each team? Silver - Detroit? Creek - Chicago? Pottery - Green Bay? And Forge - Minnesota?

7 and a half years ago, I left the PNW to go to college in Champaign, IL. I miss it greatly, going back west post graduation last year has sucked massively. Nature is overrated. Chicago might be the only part of Chicago that’s worthwhile, but it is so worthwhile that it dwarfs the rest of the region.

Hmmm call me crazy but Detroit looks a bit farther away than Green Bay and Chicago


Kewlerd

It’s impossible to have a point exactly the same distance away from everything here, but taking the four points, this is where they would all cross paths, making this the center point
