The Stealers playoff game in '16 was the absolute worst. It was 42 degrees or something and poured at times. Somehow there was a gap in the rain jacket I was wearing, and the gap formed a bit of a trough that was, unbeknownst to me, gathering rain water. When there was some reason to cheer my hands went up and all that cold water was funneled inside my jacket, soaking the fleece I was wearing.The crippled section is covered, so I really didn't mind, but I can see your point.
I wish they'd built the damn dome on day 1, but since I'm no longer a STH, I won't lose sleep one way or the other.
In the older days, I would have been against it just because smashmouth football seems so much more real and physical outdoors, but, with how pass first we are with Burrow, give Burrow the best conditions to succeed.
I doubt we'll ever be chosen to host a Super Bowl, but I like the idea of other events being able to be hosted too.

That's what I was thinking and nobody had answered.
I wouldn't mind a dome but a retractable roof is a must IMCO because the feeling and overall atmosphere is just so much better when you're out in the fresh air and can see the downtown buildings and then out over into Northern Kentucky.
