Vikings new stadium: Outdoors, indoors, or retractable roof?

I think it should be outdoors. With an outdoor stadium, we can use the cold weather in Minnesota to our advantage. With an indoor or retractable roof stadium, there's no weather advantage. Putting a roof on a new stadium wouldn't help the Vikings in any way. Football games are fun to watch when it is snowing, and we'll never see that with an indoor or retractable roof stadium. What the state should do is let the Vikings have an outdoor stadium and repair the Metrodome so it can be used for indoor events, like basketball, monster trucks, and many non sporting events.|||Outdoors. Its a nice late season advantage. Just look what the Packers do outside with a team that is used to those temps.



Chainsaw - They do play teams outside their division.|||The loudness of the Metrodome because of the roof is an advantage for the Vikings now, but if getting rid of the roof means keeping the team they should go open air.



The problem with open air is it removes alot of homefield advantage against teams like the Bears and Packers in the late months, but it is a huge advantage against the southern teams.



Retractable is stupid, you might as well save money and make it an indoor stadium because over half of the year is weather that will call for it to be closed.



The MetroDome will be demolished if the Vikings move. It is too expensive to maintain for the occaisonal monster truck rally - concerts, basketball games, etc.. - have the Timberwolves' Target Center and the Wild's Excel Energy Center.|||Neither, move to LA.





Just kidding. Chances are the new stadium, if they end up building one, will be probably be outdoor. They don't wanna make the same mistake building a weak dome in the midwest.|||Not really an advantage at all with your division rivals.
