I was sad when both the Lions and Viking got domes. Its only 2/3 games a year that may be freezing Cold . There just is something about a cold snowing game.
Detroit needs the dome to protect fans from falling bullets.
When I was reading that all I could think of was that scene in Kentucky Fried Movie were the evil guy makes the ultrament punishment
Not quite. Detroit has it's problems, but it's not that bad. It's just a depressed economic area due to years of neglect from terrible city leadership. It's working on rejuvenation with the 2 new stadiums (and third for the Red Wings in proposals), the FoxTown area, the casinos, and Greektown. Detroit will never be a Chicago, I can concede that, but they managed to pull off a great Super Bowl when I thought it would be an embarrassment to the city, and that was a step in the right direction. Hopefully the Final Four will also help get some positive attention. Detroit isn't the best city, but it's a far cry from the urban war-zone it gets portrayed as to the nation.

I hate domes with a passion. I absolutely love football in the snow. My ideal football game is something along the lines of the Oakland game in 2001. I think it's what separates football from other sports- the elements. Beating each other up in the trenches, muddy, nasty, cold football. I love it. Watching games in Foxborough, Green Bay, Chicago, it made me hate the Lions for selling out to get a Super Bowl (and doing so again) when there could've been a real home field advantage.
Domes cheapen the game, and I love being cold watching football. It adds to the atmosphere. Nice firepit roaring as I tailgate. Nothing better.
It's even more fun playing in it. It's hard to get going fast enough to hurt anybody. The offensive guys probably don't like it from the aspect that their stats go all to hell.eh, i do not care for domes as much. outside is better. its nice to have a snow game or two each year. it is more fun when the conditions are a factor.
Anybody know about the thought process with Kraft, etc., that went into New England not doing a dome stadium?
