Domed Stadium

At the end of the day though, the poll shows a pretty even split of for and against a covered/indoor stadium.
I have to think this percentage would be different 10, 20, 30 years ago because the fans and technology are changing.
Now it's more about instant gratification, convenience, comfort, and efficiency rather than "toughing it out" or "doing it the hard way."

While some prefer to just be at the stadium in whatever conditions, that percentage of people seems to be dwindling as the years/decades go by.
If/when the stadium starts becoming less populated, orgs will have to start trying to adjust accommodations to people to draw more back in.
It's inevitable.

i stated before NFL attendance does not seem to be suffering in open air stadiums, weather is getting better in 21c during football season and majority of games are actually played in summer/fall not winter. Too me the debate on doom is not weather for games but is the cost worth what else you might be able to bring in and im not sure it is..
