SoCal Deek Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I actually think that all of these new Stadiums are starting to look more and more alike all the time, just like they did in the 1970s.....but a whole lot more expensive now. It was nice to see Minnesota try something a bit different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cba fan Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 They can not get a Super Bowl with only 65k. It must be expandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Which owner voted against the move? Ralph is gone. Also, they call it a dome, but then show a bunch of open air views. Is it retractable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like they rarely do, regardless of the weather. Just curious if anyone else has noticed this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 It's not an NFL stadium, but the skydome/rogers centre in Toronto opens and closes the roof all the time for baseball games from may until October. Apparently the close and seal the roof for the winter between October to April I believe. MLB would jot allow them to open the roof for playoff games the last couple years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect this was a rule that was made to be broken in this case. There’s only one Vegas.

I went for a stroll to check the place out (and probably grab a beer?) and when I got back it was closed. It started to drizzle and the roof is pretty darn fast.

Hmmm...I'm guessing Spanos. 3 hours ago, QCity said: It's Vegas, the town was built for Superbowls. I'd bet that by season 3, half the seats will be comps by casinos.

First time I can ever remember a Cardinals game with the roof open. Colts are open most games early season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
