And you still think we should have an outdoor stadium? If you think we are bad now...If you would read the thread you would know that I have.

Putting words and ideas in my mouth that I never stated nor implied. I see how your mind works. Well OK, in just a few minutes i got enough feedback to get the information I was looking for. Thanks for responding everyone. I would have preferred civility but should have expected this.We have a multi purpose facility that we are in the midst of spending hundreds of millions of dollars on. My guess is that you haven't been in it recently.
It is used by 3 sports and 5 teams.
What do you advocate? Razing the dome, and building an outdoor stadium in its place?
And then building a facility for the basketball teams?
And then building another facility for the lacrosse teams?
How many hundreds of millions of dollars would this cost? Where would all this money come from? Do you think folks that have supplied the hundreds of millions to update the dome would be happy about being asked to supply hundreds of millions more because of your brainstorm?
All of this just to lower our injury rate for one sport? When many other peer schools also still play football on artificial turf?
I don't understand how your brain works and why you think this could possibly make sense.
UTSA is FBS. The others are all in cold weather locations.Sounds like we're in good company with a small hand full of FCS programs.
Why take the few million dollar approach to solve a problem when we can take the 1 billion dollar option. Sounds like we are ready to run for congress.No...just no.
If there is a concern about turf, then replace it.

Outdoor football could work here… if we open a season with 6 straight home games and go on the road after Columbus Day. Even still we would need bench warmers under all the seats if we play a night game.
Way back in the dark ages I played trumpet in the old stadium. Nothng like trying to march and play your horn when your trumpet valves freeze and your feet slip on the snow!!!!Just wanted to resurrect a discussion for my benefit of getting opinions on the topic. From my high level view, I have favored an outdoor football facility. I think the dome artificial turf has been a source of increased injuries and has also been used against Syracuse by negative recruiting. The weather is not as bad as some will try to make it out to be. In fact our autumn's are warmer now and some of the nicest weather of the year. I think a new outdoor stadium seating 40 to 45k would make recruiting a bit easier.

We just don't understand how you could think this is
Um, When did I mention that someone called me a name..? Yikes!No one called you names or treated you badly bt.
We just don't understand how you could think this is sensible.
My suggestion, pick another team to follow with an outdoor stadium and you will be happy.Um, When did I mention that someone called me a name..? Yikes!
I was thinking in terms of a football exclusive stadium keeping the dome as multi use facility. I thought that I recalled a discussion on this forum years ago regarding this topic and that Skytop was a possibility. I'm probably wrong and will get blasted again for bringing this up. That's OK. Maybe my brain doesn't work as well as others in this regard as was suggested. The answers are definitely above my pay grade. But as anything else, there needs to be vision and the right people to make things happen. However, if im an idiot for even suggesting this, then obviously there is nothing here and we need to burn this threadHe had some legitimate questions I would like you to take a stab at addressing.
No. Better yet. Stop wasting my time on this forum with elitists such as yourself.My suggestion, pick another team to follow with an outdoor stadium and you will be happy.

Yeah if we want that, just keep the Dome and keep Captain November Swoon as our coachWe would have 32 people in the facility for any game after October.
