What is the actual benefit of playing football outdoors in the elements?
Wouldn't we want to make it as friendly on the team and fans as possible?
Is it just about being "tough" to sit outside in inclement weather and hot September days and freezing temps after Nov?
There's a reason Super Bowls are usually played indoors or in southern states where it's not freezing cold. It provides the best product on the field and best experience for the fans in attendance.
TV broadcasts are also getting better and better for how close they get to the action and clarity. Back in the 80s and before, the broadcast was not nearly as good (from footage I have seen, I did not watch football in the 80s and prior myself). Heck, you're almost better off nowadays watching a game on TV to get a better view than watching in the nosebleeds/back of the endzone seating, especially for the cost.

if we want it, we will have to pay for it, maybe we should have a second poll, if you want a dome would be we willing to share the cost because for ownership it does not make much sense to for a dome stadium, fans come bad weather or not when you put on a good product.  Look at the Saints, dome stadium but when they start losing, fans don;t show up.  Also studies have shown dome stadiums on average charge for to see the game, so think about it we probably average 5 to 6 games played in summer and fall , only 3 to maybe 4 games are played in the winter, of course that is not counting playoff games
