Lots of people like to say stuff like this but the fact is that Stamps attendance drops off when fall comes and the weather cools. They haven't had a legit sold out playoff game in a while. I agree that there's nothing better than sitting outside on a nice day watching a football game but the truth is that even some of the summer evening games can get fairly cool (downright cold if it rains) and I've sat through more than enough cool September and October games to the point I don't bother to go to fall games unless I'm in the suites. Really with a dome you would miss out on maybe 4 or 5 nice weather games a year at best and can attend all the fall games without dressing up in winter clothes and worrying more about your toes than the game. Not to mention having a dome lends to hosting more Grey Cups. IMO Regina was foolish to spend all that money on an outdoor stadium and not put a roof on it as that place gets all kinds of crazy rain, wind, cold, etc.
