Tell me again why Browns Stadium shouldn't have roof

Question : how many true home bad weather games do the Cleveland BROWNS have every year ? Or decade ?
The answer(s) might suprise you. There are sites that show the kickoff time weather for every BROWNS or any NFL team.
It's the somewhat rare bad weather "blizzard games" that get the attention.
So to look at all sides why build a dome/retractable stadium in the first place ? My answer is economical development through a multi use (but football NFL and college primary) advantage. For example you will never get a northern city SUPER BOWL without one. Plus the 1,001 other uses it affords.
And the hotels, motels, restaurants etc don't want to hear bad weather gameday. Northern is still a tough sell, people want to vacation in Jan/ Feb in warm weather.
So good idea - yes. Perfect answer - maybe. I'd love to see it -but- I'm not paying for it.

So please... Just SHOVE the wistful rationalization Crap "we'll (Cleveland) NEVER get to host a Super Bowl Up your ass. That's a one in a
20year make that 40 year proposition... Detroit... 1982... AND Counting...Green Bay will never get a Super Bowl... Ditto #3 metropolis in America, CHICAGO will never get one either- and that city has one HELL of a lot more infrastructure to host one FYI. Should I go on to list the other cities you can scratch off of the "once in a lifetime" piss poor argument as to having a Dome? Didn't think so.....
1001 other benefits? I'll bet you can't list more than 15. Hyperbole much? Cost benefit analysis... Yeah, retractable roof Lucas Oil might cost about a billion or so today if you're lucky... And HELL will freeze over if you're hallucinating the NFL combine would ever move out of Indianapolis to Cleveland. Cleveland has gotten a bunch of "national" events, including the NFL Draft, a major political convention, and we didn't need to spend a billion dollars to get them either....

For someone who lives nowhere near Cleveland, and for someone who admits most likely won't be around when a new stadium is built, this topic consistently fires you up like no other ?

Screw the open air crap and how it is an advantage, yada,yada, yada.
The only sport that needs to be played in frozen conditions is hockey, and shoot, even they play indoors...lol

hoorta is right in one aspect, perhaps Cleveland could get one Super Bowl, perhaps. That's probably about it.
But a domed football stadium also could bring the NCAA Final Four, along with potentially down the road the MAC Championship, Big Ten Championship, etc.
It will be interesting to see how this unfolds at the end of the decade. The Guardians aren't going anywhere, Progressive Field wasn't built quickly and cheaply originally, it is still a great place to watch a baseball game. There were big renovations in the middle of the 2010s there already, and an even more ambitious round of renovations starts after the 2023 season ends.

What really hurts about that loss is that it appeared earlier that we'd have a decent shot at the playoffs. But nope. We choked to a dome team. And we dropped 2 touchdown passes at the very end of the game. Sums up the year, don't it?
I absolutely detest bad weather games. It's not what I want to watch.

I think you’re forgetting about the SB being hosted in the Meadowlands in 2014.

Correct. But, that was New York. Cleveland is not NY. And neither is Buffalo.

So the cold weather dilemma doesn’t effect NY teams?

No, the NFL decided that having a Super Bowl in the greater NYC area was worth the potential bad weather.
Something they've never done anywhere else in the North.

The Bears will be announcing their new stadium plans around the Super Bowl. They will be moving to the suburbs, like Los Angeles, on the site of an old racetrack. It will be a permanent domed stadium.

I know it was a rhetorical question.
I was merely highlighting the fact that the NFL will bend their unwritten rules for the New Yorkers.

Indeed. The NHL just played an outdoor game at Fenway. I'd hardly say 1 game a year is a good argument.
They are played for nostalgic reasons. No team is going to take their entire season outdoors.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

it was kinda like a side note I was just wondering if they had played that game yet, not saying they should play hockey outdoors year round

Good deal.
I think the game is in February. As a season ticket holder i keep getting info about being able to buy tickets for the game. I don't pay any real attention. I like Hockey and usually drive the 100 miles or so to Nashville to catch a couple of matches a year, but I won't drive 600 miles to go watch OSU/Mich play outside in Feb.
