Does the author not realize that other things happen in stadiums besides football? It’s much better to be able to have concerts and other events reliably and with comfortable customers, people don’t want to bundle up in 35° DC winter weather to go see a concert

Why wouldn’t you build a roof? It means conditions inside are great at all times.
I will say sofi is not great because they don’t go far enough m. The translucent roof and no ac (it’s got open sides in some spots) as far as I can tell make it really uncomfortable at times, almost worse than roof or no roof. So in my opinion if you are building a billion dolllar facility, put a roof on it.

“Las Vegas … almost no inclement weather”
Welp, try going to that stadium in July when it’s 112F. The NFL isn’t playing at that time but these stadiums aren’t just used for football.

Promoters don't want weather risk.
