For old school Neanderthals like me, I like a cold or wet game and watching teams fight the elements. But from a fan perspective...do I want to spend $300 to be cold and wet for 3 hours. Or sit in -30 at Arrowhead...

So I think this is becoming a reason for why more teams are going for an indoor stadium along with the potential to host a Superbowl. Younger fans and older ones prefer some comfort. Even player safety is starting to pop up from some on these colder games. By 2050 every stadium except maybe Lambeau likely has some type of shelter for fans. I'd also expect that 25 teams also replace their current stadium too claiming they won't survive without a new Shiney toy.
