Few things.. we all know that in order to finance such a structure, there is going to have to be a heavy amount of support.  That support won't be generated if the team isn't winning.  If the team wins in the ACC, the fans will show up.  If the fans start showing up, the community support will follow.  Building a new stadium will never be possible without a great deal of community support, so I think we can throw the attendance argument out the door.  Without consistently winning, a new stadium will never get erected..
 
I personally think the idea of building a new stadium with a retractable roof would be "really cool" to recruits.  It'd be the first of its kind in college football and could, potentially, be the tool which pushes us over the hump from a consistent 8-4 type team to a consistent 9-10 win team, with the occasional chance at a National Championship.  The real crux in the matter is getting to be a consistent 8-4 team.  Otherwise, this is never going to get accomplished..
 
Too bad the market didn't hold out an extra 2 years back in 2006-2007... This entire argument would be for naught.
