Football was meant to be played indoors?

Can you imagine if Lambeau was indoors? How incredibly GAY and PANSYISH and PUSSYBOYISH would that be. Grow a pair there, chief. If you are going to brandish the "Alvin Walton" avatar, you need to live up to the steel gonad, kill em attitude that he possessed. Go ask him if he'd like to play indoors or out. Boom, roasted.

How can you even bring up Three Rivers Stadium as a preference? That was among the ugliest stadiums in the history of sports, domed or not. Along with Veterans Stadium, Cowboys Stadium (not Jerry's World), and the Kingdome.

The Cardinals stadium is a great state of the art facility. Personally I don't mind if a team plays in a dome or not, so long as the stadium looks good.

Personally the only stadiums remaining that really bother me are the Metrodome, Edward Jones Dome, and the Georgia Dome (which is ironic because in person the Georgia Dome isn't so bad, it's just that it doesn't really project well on TV). Ralph Wilson and the Coliseum seem like they've served their purpose but they still look nice on TV. The Superdome only looks nice during the Super Bowl, besides that it seems like a trashy stadium. I keep on hearing that Qualcomm stadium is terrible but it's another stadium that looks good on TV (probably due in part to the San Diego weather).

Still I don't really have a preference when it comes to domed stadiums vs outdoor stadiums even though the only remaining stadiums that I'm really committed to having demolished are domes. Both have their uses depending on the market. Only thing I care about is weather or not the stadium is aesthetically pleasing when I watch games.
