Dome on Memorial stadium?

Can you imagine how noisy it would be in big games with a dome?
I'm getting to the age where I'd rather sit at home and watch the game on TV than sit in a windy stadium in 30 degree weather. Give me a dome and I'll make it to the game.
Well that ain't exactly in line with our new green deal now, is it? On the other hand, we could just gather up all the balloons from the top of the dome each game and reuse them, saving the earth's helium supply and countless birds (kidding of course, I know the helium won't last to the next game).
Both Northern Iowa and NDSU Bison, but I guess they are FCS.......

Please no. Football is meant to be played in the elements. Cornhuskers in a dome? What???
A retractable dome would be amazing but it'll probably never happen. Too many people would be whining and crying about it especially considering the $$$ involved.
Would it would make memorial stadium a much more useful stadium in the colder months? All year round?
No. We need less domes. Football should be played in the elements.
I wish they'd play more Super Bowls in the northern regions. Snow bowls are fun.
We have a lot of nice weather 85% of the time..
No Dome...
No Dome...
not for the fans spending hundreds/thousands to be there it isnt
There were rumors in the mid 70s of a dome stadium to be built between Lincoln and Omaha. Just wishful thinking by delusional fans at the time. Looks like some fan had some fun with his photoshop program.
Syracuse and Idaho (I think they may have dropped back to FCS) Minnesota use to. Doesn’t Texas San Antonio play in Alamo Dome?
how about a stadium that looks like a donut. players are in the elements, fans are in a heat controlled enclosed area.
September and October can actually be pretty sunny in Seattle. Nothing was worse than missing out on a nice afternoon sitting in the bad old Kingdome watching the Hawks. I use to turn down free seats from my vendors and suppliers. The retractable roof for the Mariners is great.
since some fans look like theyve had too many donuts, that would be cool.

Unpopular opinion, but I prefer football in good weather. Snow games are a nice novelty when its Wyoming playing colorado st in a meaningless november contest, but I dont want championships determined by shit weather.
this photo shop deal is an old one, I remember seeing this very same picture before the facilities update was even announced... there was a thread at some point in the middle of the season this year talking about the weather so I was trying to see if there were any photo shopped pictures of a dome on memorial stadium to try and put in the thread... welll I found this very picture but I couldn’t figure out how to post it in the thread.... so to make a long story short this isn’t even a leaked photo of a potential dome and as you pointed out it wasn’t even an updated photo used... no need to get hopes up for those of you that got them up...
Edit: found the article I was looking at... take a look at the date it was published

Terrible idea. Why would you play the Super Bowl in a Detroit or Indianapolis in February when you could play in Miami or LA?
What about Minneapolis...Their stadium blows LA coliseum away...
I think Minneapolis is in the mix already. Big reason to build a billion dollar stadium. To get the SB there. LA, Vegas, Atlanta, Dallas
Wasn't that a big reason for Oakland to move to Vegas? Big new shiny stadium that may get some Super Bowls?
You could argue that it is fair to the northern teams who play outdoors to have every other Super Bowl warm/cold. I seem to recall a lot of teeth gnashing amongst our fans when the B12 decided to move the championship game from alternating Dallas/KC to Jerry World. Some felt playing in the cold gave us an edge.
