I think the team/county made a huge mistake. not building a covered stadium when PBS was being designed/built. The team should look just slightly to the west to see what would be a viable setup in Cincy. Indianapolis is a perfect example of how to build a multi-use covered stadium in a small market midwest city. If the stadium was covered, wouldn't need a second, covered, practice field.
I wonder what the feasibility is of a retro fit in 10 years to had a dome to PBS. I'm sure it would take quite a bit of re-engineering, but could be cheaper than a complete rebuild. The Bears went this route a few years back, not converting to a dome, but a huge retrofit of Soldier Field, instead a rebuilding.
....and did a helluva job with it in my opinion. They kept a lot of the traditional facade and took the rest into the 21st century. Looks good, I think...
