"Saints can't win outdoors"

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; It's because the Saints don't put 40 on the board outside, especially in the cold. If either team starts fast this Monday, it's bad news for the other....

What's weird about this is that The Seahawks use to play in a dome (Kingdome) and now we play outside when in my opinion, The Saints should play outside. Why did they build a dome for your football team??

Is this a serious question? While you are freezing your knads off in your new sound direction stadium I'll be holding a cold beer in the Superdome wearing shorts and muscle shirt.

I imagine the Superdome is getting older and I will bet you at some point that they will replace the dome with an outdoor venue. Poor Saints fan having to brave that 50 degree element outdoors LOL

Won't happen anytime soon, they re-fitted the superdomes structure when it changed from louisiana superdome to Mercedes Benz

Seriously though there was talk a few years back about building an outdoor stadium. I think a few reasons that they stuck with the Dome was: money, location in the city, and hosting of Superbowls. Everyone loves coming to the Dome for a Superbowl since it is always good weather inside and it is right smack dab in the middle of a great tourist city. Hotels, restaurants and parties all close by.

It would never happen but if it did, we would just schedule all the winter warriors in September and see how they handle 98* and 95% humidity.

Yeah that's a Seahawk recipe for a loss.

It appears Allen nixed a roof in Seattle due to cost concerns ...cheapskate owner.

It appears that Arrowhead holds the World's Record for the loudest outdoor stadium.

Wrong. The Superdome has been totally rebuilt since 2005 with only the framework remaining. Everything else is state of the art and they will be adding a large over-the-field video monitor ala "Jerry World" in the very near future. If you hadn't been there since 2005 you wouldn't recognize it at all.
