I agree people would still attend games.  However, the original poster’s claim was attendance would improve with an outdoor stadium - that position is crazy.

Minnesota drew about 42,000 fans per game in 2008, their last year in the MetroDome.  They have drawn about 42,000 fans per game in their new outdoor stadium for over a decade.  It’s a 42,000 fan per game program - just like Syracuse.

Looking at reducing our seating to closer to 42,000 seems like a great idea - it’s not a surprise that’s what we’re doing.  We are what we are.

And I have no problem admitting I am personally soft, and my days of going to crazy cold weather games are in my past.  Younger, more cold tolerant fans are going to need to step up and fill the void.  I have enough stories of sitting outside in subzero temperature games to bore my future grandkids with.  Now is the time for younger fans to do those activities - then they too can annoy their grandkids by repeatedly telling them about it in the decades to come.
