[Spence] a retractable roof on MetLife Stadium 😂 kinda sick

  1. Is it too late to tear it down and try again. Metlife was out of date the day after it was completed.

  3. Indoor stadiums are for babies. Teams who have to deal with the weather are better prepared for when they deal with it in the playoffs.

    Look at the Packers, Patriots, Steelers, Giants, Chiefs, and 49ers. 29 Superbowls between them and zero indoor stadiums.

  4. If Green Bay, Kansas City and Seattle don’t have a dome…East Rutherford doesn’t need a dome. A new stadium? Yes. Dome? No.

  5. You have two NYC area teams sharing a stadium and the chose the most boring, least functionable and totally underwhelming option.

    This was a total failure by NY standards.

  7. Yes! I remember freezing my ass off watching us get stomped by the cowboys. Going inside to warm off and being bored walking around the stadium. Went back to my seat to listen to the cowboy fans cheering and high fiving each other. 

  8. Maybe a dumb question but isn’t a way to build one NOW? Modify the existing roof to accommodate a future roof? Might take years but there has to be a way

  9. That’s a terrible photoshop job.

    It really doesn’t bother me that the stadium doesn’t have a roof. We wouldn’t get any additional events that we already get there with one, other than a Final Four maybe once every 10 years since the NCAA has a rotation with Phoenix, NO, Jerryworld, Houston, Indy, Minneapolis, Atlanta, etc. The stadium already had a Super Bowl and the NFL strongly prefers warm weather cities even if you have an indoor stadium. Ford Field only hosted once, same with US Bank, and it’s because those stadiums were new. Yet it’s Miami, NO, Houston, Tampa Bay, Arizona, LA, Vegas, etc. that are always hosting. They don’t want all of the week’s events surrounding the game affected by bad weather. The stadium’s hosted Wrestlemania twice.

    The stadium already hosts a huge amount of concerts, and there are very few acts who can play in a stadium of that size. When they do, it’s during the summer, because their tour itinerary is going to cover all of the other venues in the region of the same size.

    New England, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Cleveland, Philly, Green Bay are all “cold weather” cities that play outdoors. The Bills new stadium will also be that way. I don’t want us to be any different.

  11. I really wish we had a giant stadium in the NYC/Philly metro area that could hold live events like Wrestlemania or concerts in the winter without freezing

  12. Don’t want a roof, love the elements for football. What I would love though is the Concourse be closed off, heated and not a giant wind tunnel

  14. It’s weird that the only city in the northeast that has a domed stadium is Syracuse. And calling Syracuse a city is kind of a stretch.

  16. Why build an 80,000 concert venue in New York (yeah I know it’s actually located in Jersey) and not put a roof on will always be crazy to me. The amount of revenue they miss out on by not having it be a year round concert/events venue is crazy.

    I remember them saying when they built it would cost an extra billion to have a roof but by god it looks shit anyway. Apparently cost the same amount as Mercedes Benz stadium in Atlanta. Inflation adjusted means it cost more to build a worse stadium.
