Why in the world???

Would you build a non-dome stadium in Denver??? 31 degrees at game time. Did they just assume they'd never be playing in October?

I lived in Denver for a year and I can say a domed stadium would be a shame. i love Coors field.

The temperature there in October is hit or miss. This is atypical.

They figured with global warming, it'd be nice and toasty in a couple years. By 2050 they'll have a "Splash Zone" like in San Fran.

Crazy, though. They just said they might see snow tonight and get "well below the 28 degree mark." Yippee!

I live about 250 miles from Ocean City. I pray for global warming every day. In fact I take two cans of hairspray and empty them into the atmosphere every day.

Global warming happens... ice caps melt... I'm sitting on beachfront property!

Reminds me of an old Drew Carey joke about Cleveland in winter: "Screw the grandkids! I'm cold now!" :laughlol:

I actually just started a thread in a somewhat similar vein about Minnesota.

Minnesota just completed their non-domed brand new stadium as well.

Apparently they wanted to do a retractable dome ala Milwaukee, but could not come up with the extra 100 Million it would've taken to get it done.

I was wondering the exact same thing when I read about their stadium. Now I know the rest of the story...

By the time 7 pm rolls around in October, it can be near 30 degrees in either New York or Philadelphia.

I was in St. Louis this weekend and the Game 3 game time temp was 37. It is what it is during October.
