I tend to agree. Its unfornuate that we have a Dome, but it is manditory for NO, unlike other places. Saints used to Play outside but the heat, which is equivalent to the Philippines, and humility caused alot fans to get heat stoke visiting, and the Dome was commissioned to be a hurrican shelter as well. Thats the reason for the shape and its all Steel/iron. A few storms a year off the coast would make it impossible to have games because they get pretty violent, but really pretty . So, unfortunately we have to be a Dome team to have regular games and keep visiting fans comfortable. We even have an indoor Training center because at times it would not be possible to practice in the weather. New orleans is an estuary swamp land where millions of birds, fish, mamals around the world come to breed. Like Tuna. If I remember correctly because of the stable heat environment for that to happen it also opens things up for bad weather. From the weather Ive seen some seasons youd probably have to call 3-5 games a year if there wasnt a dome. But I agree with the Dome team thing. Its just not possible to not have a Dome in NO.
Its one reason that fake sudders in Washington DC bother me when Im there lol. They Dont Do anything grrr.
In NO we have to have real Storm sudders to protect the windows from breaking in storms. Can get a freak storm gust up to 40-50 mph off the coast. Only really expensive windows can take that.
