Unpopular opinion: domed stadiums are just better

Yes, I know. Rain is 'part of the game'. Snow games are 'iconic'. Frozen fans are 'real fans'.

As a civil engineer, I'd argue a good roof is one of the best things you can build for a sport. No postponements. Consistent conditions. The noise stays in. Concerts and other events pay for the building the rest of the year.

The best compromise is retractable, though they're expensive and break more than people think.

Convince me the open-air romance is worth the rainouts.
