Message: [QUOTE="Eric15, post: 129596, member: 676"] Respect your thoughts and opinion, but I feverishly disagree with everything in this post. An outdoor football stadium would just be a disaster. On cold, gloomy November days, no one except die hard fans (aka 15-20K) would go to the games. You would completely lose the casual fan. The Dome for football is a unique and incredible asset - the thought of having some run-of-the-mill outdoor stadium like BC or Minnesota bores the life out of me. I know people like to suggest putting the court in the middle of the Dome for big games, but in my opinion, it's just completely unnecessary. It seems to me like it would just make the Dome more cavernous. You'd need about 55K-60K people in it to make it feel full (if you added seats on the field around the court), which I don't think is attainable. Bottom line, I'm all for minor sprucing up of the joint (which Gross has been good about), but the foundation of the Dome is perfect to me. [/QUOTE]
