pf9 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 A major plus of having an outdoor NFL stadium in Vegas would that the Raiders could oftentimes wear white at home, forcing their opponents to wilt in their colored jerseys. This was how the Cardinals often dealt with the heat at Sun Devil Stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Meh.. there's a reason why Arizona went to a dome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I remember going to the gym in Vegas and it was 117 and the blacktop was getting soft. Talked to a woman who blistered her feet at the pool because she forgot her shoes and ran across burning as she stepped. Vegas heat is no joke. Though the months of playing most of the games it's pretty nice overall but still toasty. Just be the better team and beat them. I like real grass indoors, that was a good decision with retractable field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 It's way too hot in Vegas to have an outdoor stadium. An indoor stadium also opens up the opportunity to host a number of different events including fights, concerts, conventions, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazer026 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I prefer an outdoor stadium most of the time. Vegas is simply too hot though, so I’m glad it’s a dome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlenlyKenny Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 A dome was the right choice. Coming from a horrible field that got torn up often, a dome would have been the only way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilshark69 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Lived in Vegas for 6 yrs.... indoor was right way to go IMO. I love football in the elements, however in Vegas it’s simply too damn hot, players and fans alike would suffer. Plus like nyraider already mentioned. Conventions, concerts etc. we have the best of both worlds, indoor and grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
