What advantage has the open air stadium gotten us to this point. The way this current team is constructed I think the offense and passing game would benefit immensely from having a dome. I don’t like this half dome idea but I’m not totally against putting a dome on this stadium. I don’t really care either way, but I don’t understand why everyone on here is so against it when we’ve gone 4-12 almost every year since this stadium has been built.

It’s more of a Shelbyville idea.

Born and raised in the greater Cleveland area, some of my best football memories include Otto Graham, and later, Jim Brown playing in the snow, rain and mud.

I guess those days are gone now….just like meaningful manufacturing jobs, three shifts working, and over-time.

Now days, it’s private boxes, steroid use, drug use, bling-bling, agents/lawyers, and teams threatening to move every couple of years.

Whateve happened to the game?

The Mariners stadium is the same idea – a carport-type covering roof when closed that does not change the outside temperature.

But for a football stadium the whole thing is a stupid idea.

This can work, but they need to have levels, everywhere. Levels, Jerry.

Monorail comment > Kwik-e-Mart comment. Glad someone else was thinking that too!

All it needs now is a monorail station. Look what it did for Ogdenville and North Haverbrook!

Looks more like a bee hive … I got a better Idea , How about investing some of those billion dollars in to putting a quality product on the field.

to put the browns into a dome would be a shame!!!

I’m not crazy about that particular design, but i like the outside the box thinking.

This is a patently ridiculous idea. I hope for Cleveland’s sake Haslam sees this as plainly as most do. BTW the Simpsons reference went over my head, anyone kind enough to clear it up for me?

It’s been an option for rebuilding your stadium in Madden for quite some time.

Worst idea ever! If you are going to make a dome, make a dome. If I am going to wear winter clothes to the game let the weather impact the game as well.

This sounds like it’ll look really weird.

I wish all stadiums were outside stadiums, though… just seems more natural.

football was made to be played in the outdoor elements!
