Domed Stadium

[jj22]

I'm going to try to sneak this in Jungle noise with good intentions so hear me out.

With the factory of sadness closing down and the Browns leaving Cleveland I was expecting there to be some push back specifically with the move to a domed stadium. What I found when I spied their board is that fans believe the open air stadiums are outdated and the generation that loved weathered football games are long gone.

Their arguments.

1. People know now the dangers of sitting in cold / extreme weather and the risk is no longer worth the bragging rights.
2. The new generation fans prefers comfort.
3. The new generation players prefer to play in domed stadiums.
4. More women, children, families are watching football along with the elderly (the old generation that was used to these freeze bowl games). These populations are at risk of health hazards in these extreme weather environments.
5. As the league moves to 18 game regular seasons, deeper into February. Open roof stadiums will become extinct in the next 10 years.
6. Fans choosing not to attend bad weather games doesn't depend on team record. Even if the team is good, the generation that would sit through these games are slowly dying off.

So my question to you is would you support Cincinnati eventually closing up Paycor? Do you hold onto the "extreme weather is home field advantage" narrative? Are those days gone forever?
