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

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.

Yup. They also reconfigured the seating adding around 9,000 seats since 2005 and have brought the fans much, much closer to the field of play. The field is now visible from all concessions as they removed the walls separating the seating from the concourses. They also rebuilt all the restroom facilities and by far increased the number for women (we all know why) and totally rewired the entire facilty.

The last time I checked the Saints owned the best road record in the NFL since the 2009 season. Besides that, my wife used to live in Seattle and she say's it's not actually that cold. Just real wet.

WHO DAT!!!
