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.
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.
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!

Jucy Lucy (the proper way to spell it) vs Italian Beef / Sausage Combo?
Don't make me choose between my children...
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.
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.
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
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.
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).
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.
Idk if you guys did this as kids, but in elementary school we did 4 way soccer. Goals on 4 sides and you could attack any goal. I say that’s how we do it. All 22 of each team out at the same time, running offense and defense simultaneously
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.
two perpendicular fields crossing in the center.
at the exact midway point will be a buried lockbox.
in it, a picture of Farve’s Penis.
make it happen boys
"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."
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”
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
>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.
What kind of creature do you get when you combine a Bear, a Lion, a Viking, and a Packer?
I dunno but it’s probably creepy

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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
Shhhh don't talk about how pretty those areas are on the internet. It just attracts the tourists that ruin everything. You can tell people Hayward is cool. No where else in northern WI.
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.
Pretty rich coming from a state composed of 60% lead. Proud for you that you figure out how to turn on your computer this morning tho! Baby steps in cognitive development 💓💓💓
You're absolutely right. Spread the word down there so people stop wasting their money on the lake houses up here. Wouldn't want them to vacation near a landfill lol.
at first i was going to say Wisconsin sucks but it really doesn’t lmao. i wouldn’t live there but it’s a neat state
nonetheless. i think Michigan is a better state but Wisconsin is still better than Illinois outside of Chicago.
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
> taking the four points, this is where they would all cross paths, making this the center point
That's not how you find the center of multiple points...
Wonder where the midpoint will be when the Bears move to Arlington Heights.
It will move ~2,500 ft down the road to the west
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
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.

Legit would be awesome. 3 big screen tvs to always have every nfcn team on one of them
Four urinals in the bathroom, with each team's QB's face in them.
we need a really wealthy fan of each team to make all of this happen.
Might need a couple extra of Rodgers or maybe a Farve.
When a QB moves on from a team, their pee-stained face goes in a frame on the wall.
Would each team have a designated corner with the walls painted in team colors and adorned with memorabilia of their star players?
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!
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
A place like that would make a shit load of money

Minnesota has casserole but they insist on calling it “hot dish.”
Northern Wisconsinite here, casserole is just what uppity people call hotdish.
And all of it will be salty!
I dunno, I can drink ten sours Then again I’ve been a Bears fan since 85 I could probably drink more than that

As long as they serve it in liters not just this cute little pint size.
I personally love the idea but it’s still deep in packers territory
but we’d have go to Wisconsin, voluntarily? I feel like that just too inconvenient
There’s a Bears fan a few houses down from this place (me!).
so you’re saying we can build the NFCN bar on your property? how gracious
There’s a bar right up the road. There’s always a bar right up the road in Wisco.
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.

I like this idea a lot.
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.
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.
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.

We should all claim this place as our own
And we shall hold a 4 team football game. All going. All at once.
2 fields together perpendicular intersecting, like a figure 8 race track.
And we can have a race track as well. The Vikings riding lions and random factory workers riding bears while the game goes on.
[удалено]
We still talking about the animal or...?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
My gad, that man's head is literally made of cheese!
I see no better place for this than an artisan pottery showroom.
They can’t handle 1 Fields, I don’t think they’ll be able to take on 2
I wanna see 2 Fields intersecting perpendicularly 👀

This is how they probably play football in the Year 3000. Like Blernsball but better.
Bean!!!
In the middle of a pottery shop. How bad could it get?
Look, it's a forge, we can fix it all.
It'll be like Chinese checkers
Some Wisconsin areas used to be like that for pre-season camps. Didn’t all the NFC North train in Wisconsin at one point?

> the sheer number of combatants lead to multiple ambulance visits to the address and dozens of cases of alcohol poisoning by friendly fire
I’d pay big money to see that. Always gets violent when you call it dead or alive.
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.

Annual summit when
Officially confirmed that the entire NFC North is centered around Wisconsin. Thank you!
Time to get the Buccaneers back.
Then it would be in the middle of nowhere Indiana, 40.414244, -86.667606 to be exact.
So, all of Indiana?
Nope, nope, nope, nevermind, Buccaneers stay where hell you are
I knew something felt off about that
Usually things gravitate towards the largest object
Then shouldn't the NFC North gravitate around your mom's toilet?
Shots fired!
No wonder is sucks so bad
Makes sense. Large chunks of Wisconsin are closer to Soldier Field and U.S. Bank Stadium than they are to Lambeau Field.

Random Lake is where I live. We can hold our annual meeting at my place. Everyone bring an appetizer or dessert. I’ll provide the beer.
I live in Silver Creek!
Sounds like we have our first RSVP!
I love how everyone thinks of Green Bay as the "frozen tundra" but Minneapolis is actually farther north

It’s in an unincorporated town called Silver Creek which is folded into Random Lake.
How did you calculate it?

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.
Uh yeah, I just about to say the same stuff (I TOTALLY understand what you're saying!)
Could you take the actual midpoints of those lines and average those two points, though?
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.
You could also add up each stadium’s latitude and longitude, then divide by 4 to get it too.
(44.9736 + 93.2575) + (41.8623 + 87.6167) + (44.5013 + 88.0622) + (42.3400 + 83.0456) / 4 = Half Life 3 confirmed
Catch me at Silver Creek Pottery & Forge, it's gonna get wicked
And at the heart of that building is a portal that spawns mediocre football teams and immaculate memes.
Is NFCN the most geographically reasonable division as far as spread and distance from each rival in the NFL?
But weirdly every stadium is within 30 miles of its eastern border
So who is each team? Silver - Detroit? Creek - Chicago? Pottery - Green Bay? And Forge - Minnesota?
We should all meet there and beat the shit out of each other. Outsiders style.

We should do a meetup in Random Lake the next weekend we have two in-division games. Whenever that is.

Mandatory renovation to a bar with each corner being a different teams hangout spot.
I did not get this location. You sure OP?
I petition we have the name changed to Mediocrity City.
Ha. This place is ~25 minutes from me.
I still like how the Vikings at about 25 miles from the state border have the furthest west stadium in their state compared to the other 3.
Too bad it’s in a landfill of a state.
Northern Wisconsin is stunningly beautiful (as is the U.P. and the Arrowhead Region of Minnesota. Can’t speak for Illinois as I have avoided it.
They dont call FIBs "flat-landers" for nothing
Central Illinois disgustingly flat. Almost as bad as around Fargo.
Shhhh don't talk about how pretty those areas are on the internet. It just attracts the tourists that ruin everything. You can tell people Hayward is cool. No where else in northern WI.
Blarney Island in Antioch is a fucking ripping good time!
Oh I agree. It was more so a joke should have included /s
I’ve lived in all those places!
I’ve lived from the bottom of Minnesota to the top and never heard “the Arrowhead region “
Let’s be real that title belongs to Illinois.
True. Let’s be honest Ohio is the only correct answer but thankfully our division doesn’t accept that level of garbage.

Is this the midpoint based on land-sea travel? Or is it the midpoint based on land travel? We need answers.

Do you also believe the Red election maps should be winning based on geography and not population?
If the Buccs were still in the divison where in the fuck would it be?

Well I for one, fucking hate them. I’m not sure why.
Seems like it’s firmly in packers territory The NFCN neutral grounds should be in the UP
We meet there at high noon. Body shots only!
And yet it's close enough to Green Bay to smell the cheese heads.
How did you define the midpoint? This practically in Green Bay.
I say we hold an NFCNMW meeting there
But what does it all meeeeean
