The Astrodome is a Texas Landmark thats being preserved as is for now. All NFL playoffs & Super Bowls the roof on retractable stadiums are always closed no matter the weather.
Men's Final Four in 2009 and will host again in 2027. Super Bowl XL in 2006. It has also hosted Men's NCAA Basketball Region in 2008 and the Frozen Four in 2010. There are other high profile events it has hosted since opening in 2002.
The Saints and NFL will keep the Superdome going for as along as they can. No way it gets replaced unless they have to. Ford Field will probably get a big renovation in the next 10 years. NRG and State Farm are still 10-15 years out from their first big renovations. None of these are at risk of replacement.
Cardinal’s stadium is great. No idea what he is talking about I have been to a few events there. I enjoy seeing a game there much more than seeing a game at the Rams stadium.
He needs to quit hating on our nest and go see a game there! This stadium is a big time upgrade compared to where they use to be play before that, Old Busch Stadium in St. Louie and Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe. Going to a game at Sun Devil Stadium during preseason-part of early October was very uncomfortable to be in because of the heat.
Exactly! I literally live 5 minutes away from the stadium and have been to many events and games there before. The stadium actually does get natural light because of the way it has been designed. Even with the roof closed it has those windows up near the top that let in natural light.
The idea of a retractable roof was briefly discussed and looked into a few years ago when Detroit was seeking a MLS franchise. I don't believe the roof with its setup/design could be converted into a retractable roof. A report came out saying so. What I'd like to see is, if possible, replace the end zone frosted window panes with a door wall type of set up similar to what Minnesota, Indianapolis, and Las Vegas have. If that's not an option, still replace but with newer technology the ETFE material. This is a great stadium and you don't realize it seats over 65,000 with the way it was designed. Not a bad seat in the house.
As a Titans fan who goes down to Huston every other year from Nashville to see the Titans play the texans. I can say nrg is one of the nicest stadiums I've ever been to next to the superdome and U.S bank stadium. Also, the Astrodome is a national landmark, not a dump.
NRG is a nice stadium I work there and fans from other cities tell me all the time how much they like it especially the concourse is big you have a lot of room to walk not a bad seat in the stadium the roof used to be open a lot but when they took the grass out and put field turf they keep it closed mostly the last time they had it open was 2021 for 4 games it looks so much better with the roof open but nfl want let the Texans open the roof if it’s over 80 degree and that’s the main reason it’s hardly open
Humidity in Glendale AZ? 19% on average... anything into Oct and that roof can be open without a problem. Hell, 100 degree heat is not bad simply because of the lack of humidity... Houston gets humidity.. We are so dry here it's not funny.
That astrodome needs to go though Even if it’s protected or not as a landmark, it needs to be renovated as it’s been abandoned for over 10 years and such an eyesore
I wonder what DG thinks about Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Colts. It was built shortly after State Farm Stadium and like the other domes mentioned has been a Super Bowl host. Also, if the Astrodome is keeping its historical landmark status it should be renovated into a tourist attraction with stadium tour options. At least it could be put to good use and not be an expensive eyesore.
💥💥The saints and New Orleans are never getting rid of the Superdome that that building is way too iconic. it might be the most iconic NFL stadium ever made. When you see it you automatically know what it is. And when you think of New Orleans that's the first thing that pops up in a lot of people's mind the Superdome.
You are wrong about my nest, State Farm Stadium! The roof is open during November-January games. It has to be 75 degrees or cooler here in the Phoenix area for it be open. Go Cardinals! It is a very awesome stadium to see a game at!
I’m hoping this will be the last time the Superdome will hosts the SuperBowl event. There’s other new stadiums that should be awarded a SuperBowl event like Cincinnati or Cleveland
What the Hell are you talking about "humidity" in Arizona? It is the least humid state in the union. Arizona is well known for dry heat. Basic junior high school earth science told us this. Do better research.
Bro said humidity in the desert. He has lost his mind lately. From all the political posts and now just blatantly talking backwards. Unsubscribe in 3,2,1🤣🤣
nothing you said about the Cards stadium is right. the roof is open all the time late in the season, and there's no humidity in Phoenix, at least not to the extent that its a problem. stick with your crack-pot political videos, you've lost it on sports.
