My frosh year was Fall of ‘69. I don’t recall ever being at Archbold in good weather. I mean, I [I]must[/I] have been, but all I remember is cold, wet, sitting in puddles on the concrete, water pouring off umbrellas in front of me onto my lap, and just being miserable. The games weren’t much better for my mental well-being, as Ben picked that specific moment in the history of the world to let the game totally pass him by.

I don’t think I have ever been to a game in the Dome when I didn’t smile while mentally comparing the two experiences.

Are there outdoor stadiums in other areas of the country where the late Fall weather is miserable? Absolutely. Do CNY high school athletes play outdoors in November? Yes.

But that doesn’t mean it has to be that way because we have made it NOT that way.

It is a totally moot point, because we just replaced the roof, got a nifty roller coaster around the top, and there is no way we are going to get rid of the roof in the balance of my lifetime. Toss in the fact that we would also have to build a new hoops arena and it simply isn’t going to happen.
