We Need An Outdoor Stadium.....

[Cap'n Cat]

Yeah, there's no place like Dome and all that crap, but how nice would it be to huddle in an outdoor stadium with your favorite PantherNation guy? Me, I see myself in row 12 at the 50 yard line nuzzling with Oldcat, bottle of Jim Beam under the blanket, snow falling gently on our chapped cheeks, our hairy hineys shivering in the crisp zephyrs, waving bright royal purple accountrement.

Is it wrong for a man to love a man, I ask you?

Nope, I've always said ... it's the 21st century. Whatever two or three consenting adults do in their own time is fine by me.

Nobody would go to our games if they were outside.

Re: We Need An Outdoor Stadium.....

All references to the Capn's love life aside, would we be more competitive if we had an outdoor stadium? Or does our "dome advantage" outweigh the "not used to playing in adverse weather" disadvantage?

I think we've disproved the "not used to" shat over and over again. Cold as fvck in New Hampshire in '05. Cold as fvck in San Marcos in '05. I was there at both. Plenty more recent examples.

Those were my thoughts...just wondering why it's so hard to convince our "friends" on the east coast.

To quote Senator Durbin the other day when he saw the size of the bailout package:

Oh . . . my . . . God.

Re: We Need An Outdoor Stadium.....

I recently ran into a guy at a bar who played football for SIU in the late 1990's. He started at safety and he told me that coaches, staff and players all HATED playing in the dome because "it was so damn loud!" then he went on to say, "Don't let them tell you they're not nervous going into that dome because we were all nervous as hell before a UNI game in the dome!" He said they ran their defense from safety so he would have to try and call out audibles and plays from the safety position and no one could ever hear him so they would have to switch it up mid-game.

It was a fun conversation.

That's dome-field advantage, the dome gives opposing players one more thing to think about besides the game!

The Dome is a state-wide landmark. It's what we're famous for. Should untold millions for a new football stadium fall into UNI's lap, it would be wise to build another one.

Everyone loves the Dome, even if its big, gray walls are shockingly ugly (especially on TV) and it is in violation of every safety and handicap law written since 1976.
