Domes should be banned from football.
The Chicago Bears are exploring a move to Northwest Indiana if they can't build a new stadium on land they bought in Arlington Heights.
And the city of Chicago is going to have a massive amount of debt on Soldier Field with no tenant.
I don’t know how the fine print works out on that one, but I’m guessing that real estate would sell pretty easily
Shart. Who the hell wants to be in Chicago these days?
Hopefully. The K is great but as far as amenities go it’s bottom third of the league for sure.
The Entertainment Districts around stadiums like Truist in North Atlanta & Texas Live at the Cowboys & Rangers stadiums bringing in year-around revenue are almost a necessity now with the cost of the venues.
17 that. Outside all the way.
Buffalo’s new stadium doesn’t have a dome. The fans were very vocal about not wanting one. And that’s in freaking Buffalo.
Barf. I really enjoy watching football being played outside in the damn cold - old man football.
They are just different up here. With that being said, it wouldn't be a home game without the WNY weather.
No it hasn’t but it’s still a nice venue with abundant parking and tailgating

Often, economic impact studies are greatly over inflated, some sports teams cost the local municipality more than the event brings in.
One local example. The Mississippi Braves. Pearl took on a lot of debt & revenues never matched the debt service. And now the revenues are gone but the debts still being paid off. Happens all the time all over the country.
I drove by it a few weeks ago , Arrowhead and Royals baseball stadium are sitting side by side with a huge parking area between and around them. They’re right off the interstate. I think that it actually butts up to the river.
Disagree, for what fans have to invest in tickets, they deserve a great fan experience. Not everyone wants to sit in the freezing cold, snow or rain.
English soccer stadiums have it right. Fans get a roof over the stands, field is open. You can always dress for the cold as long as it's above 20 degrees, which is the vast majority of the time even for a city like Buffalo.
