I HATE domed stadiums in northern cities. Football is supposed to be an outdoor game played in the fall weather elements. A good team can adapt to the weather conditions instead of finding a way to avoid them.
I could almost understand having domes for southern teams like New Orleans and Arizona, because they have ungodly heat and/or humdity well into October, which doesn't lend itself well to a game where players have to wear 20+ pounds of pads for safety.
But I guarantee Indy wouldn't have the same amount of success if they didn't hide from the weather. There's no way that passing attack would be as successful if they had to play all their home games at the Ralph.
