The odds of it getting rained out or snowed out in April are no different than in Chicago, Detroit, or Cleveland. Look it up.

Now how about another Outdoor Stadium for the Vikings!

@VenomStryker Money talks. Bull@#$% walks. Money runs the world. Don't like it? Fine. Stay off your computer, no electricity, no air conditioning, no lights, nothing. If you have the courage of your convictions, which I doubt you have, no one shall heal from you again.

[Jiltedin2007]

@jdlund Probably so, but that dosen't mean that just because you're playing in a climate unbearable to a predominant amount of Living Americans does not mean to make playing Football like playing Electric Football inside of your Home.

How about "The Frozen Tundra" at Green Bay? Do you for one think that the Packers will ever "Wise up" and start playing Football indoors?

[jdlund]

Very few teams have open cold weather facilities so one or another they should be use to it. Also, I realize people from Minnesota are use to the snow, but that doesn't mean they necessarily enjoy sitting outside on cold ass days.

No reason to make the product the team is trying to sell less desirable. Also, you'll never get considered for things like hosting the SB without it, which is certainly profitable.

I suppose if your team were to excel in snow and fans don't mind, then maybe.

@jdlund Why a Retractible Roof?! Let the Vikings play in the Snow and Cold Weather just like back in the Fran Tarkenton and the Purple People Eater days. The only way the Vikings are going to go back to their winning ways is to not get used to the warm climate of the indoors!

[jdlund]

If they do a new Vikings stadium it will be a retractable roof. No way would they just build an open stadium.

I do hope for their sake that they build one otherwise I have no doubt that the Vikings will leave.

@fkm99 Maybe something that doesn't make me throw up later that night -_-

[pettway2000]

Can't believe MLB allowed these fools to build a open air stadium in Alaska aka Minnesota.The MLB needs to make sure that stadiums in cold weather states have retractable roofs!!!!!
