If you can't attract more than 65% capacity in warm weather, during a winning season for the most important game of the year, do you really a roof (complete with more expensive tickets) is going to seal the deal?

Are you serious? Umm yes a nicer stadium with better amenities, bathrooms, food and beverage options, easier access, better sight lines and a retractable roof would do wonders for attendance. I consider myself a casual stamps fans and would attend far more often if they didn't play in a hell hole.
I currently rarely go to Stamps games because I don't want to sit on a frozen metal bench and eat a dirty old wrinkled $7 hot dog, when I can barely see the play and even the "jumbotron" is so far away I can't see it. My wife just laughs when I ask her to go.
The only time I go to games is when I get wasted with the boys and thus don't care about the surroundings or the game very much. That's about once per season.
You can't seriously fathom that in a cold weather climate, replacing a building constructed in 1959 with a new modern facility isn't going to attract more people to games?
