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.

CFL is the problem here. Move the schedule up a month. I get the "fear" of having the Stanley Cup taking up all the focus, but no one cares about the first month of the CFL season. Have the season start at the beginning of June and have the season end by Halloween. Big weather issues almost entirely averted. Because indoor football would kill the biggest chunk of the CFL season.
As to the bolded, my man, you have the worst examples sometimes. So when it's -30, I don't have to wear any winter clothes to actually get to the game? What, do I live in the stadium? Are there gonna be +15's going from the new stadium all the way to McKenzie Towne?
