seems to me like the decision is up to the team ... http://www.universityofphoenixstadium.com/index.php?page=guest_services§ion=game_day
Can't the cowboys do that with their maxipad roof? It just opens up to a center slot where most of the fans would stay dry but the field would get rained on
Yeah but Austin TX is north of Houston or Victoria or San Antonio so I still could be a warlock from the north
I think playing in a dome is just as much an advantage to the home team as cold weather. A Jet crowd in a dome, damm we would rock the house. The cold weather crap is so overrated.... see the San Diego Chargers record on the road in December. I would love to tailgate in the cold and go inside and take off my jacket and make so much noise my ears would hurt. I am 50 years old, been doing the cold weather thing since 1981, it would have been nice to have a dome. That's my story and I am sticking to it.

Let's look at these stats a bit further: First time, so suddenly domes are a big advantage? A one year trend, not necessarily the future of the league. Not sure where they get this. Colts and Saints, that's two, Cardinals last year, that's three (and Arizona's not a full-time dome team), Giants and Pats the year before, two cold weather teams. Giants won at Green Bay to get there, Pats at home vs San Diego, a warm weather team. So my count is 2-1/2 or 3 of the past 6 Super Bowl teams are dome teams. Anything can happen in a given year. Some of the better teams this year played in domes and/or the south or west. It happens. Pittsburgh won last year, the year before Green Bay and New England hosted the championship games. Two of the three are because the Jets got hot and played great D, the other because the Ravens did while the Pats were banged up. First time the Pats lost a home playoff game in the Brady era, it happens. So it's not crazy to understand why more playoff games were in domes. The point was also made in the article of how badly QBs like Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner and to a lesser degree Drew Brees play when they have to adjust to the cold--exactly my point. So even if domes are the new trend, cold weather can become the rarity that domes used to be and thus more of an advantage as teams over time adjust and learn how to cope with playing away in domes.
The Jets are trying to turn the atmosphere into a Nets game with the crappy rap music and dancers. I hate basketball
I could do without hearing the Black Eyed Peas on Sundays. I could also do without the Flight Crew. What's the benefit? Eye candy? It's just another thing for STHs to support.
