    Little article about cards stadium

    Cards stadium roof status

    CARDS STADIUM ROOF STATUS: For those Bills fans attending Sunday's game in Glendale, AZ, the retractable roof on University of Phoenix Stadium will be closed this Sunday for the game between the Bills and Cardinals.
    Cardinals VP of media relations Mark Dalton stated that it's more of a sun than heat issue and that the roof usually isn't left open until mid-November for day games.
    The stadium was constructed in such a way to maximize sunshine on the grass to promote growth, while also reducing sun exposure to fans in the seats, but still the sun is apparently an issue as powerful as it is down there.
    Once the roof is closed prior to the game it must remain closed throughout.
    Having the roof closed might be a good thing for the Bills. The Cardinals won all three of their home games last season in which the roof was open.

        i;d be interested to see who those 3 teams they beat were when the roof was closed...

        Their home games:

        SEA - W
        PIT - W
        CAR - L
        DET - W
        SF - L
        CLE - W
        ATL - W
        STL - W

        They only lost 2 at home last year, including wins vs. Pittsburgh and the Browns

        So far this year at home they are 1-0, with their win coming in the form of the blowout vs. the Phins.

          Actually, I think that's a good break for the Bills not having to deal with the heat.

              Dome closed for Sunday's game.

              The reason given..the sun is too strong on the fans. I'm no stadium buff, so have the Bills played in a closed dome yet this year/including pre-season?
              I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

                    I suppose he's referring to the Rams game, it's a dome, so it's not like there is a choice in open vs. close, but still...
