    We haven't won outdoors against SIU since 1996.

      Cappy, win the Powerball and hand it over to the university, 'cause that's the only way it happens.

        No outdoor stadium...

        It would look like UNI basketball attendance-wise under Sam Weaver...

          Maybe, and I'm talking 30-40 years down the road, a retractable roof might make sense.

            You guys just don't understand, I'm working to get the hot chocolate concession contract at what will be called Cap'n Cat/Meow Mix Tender Vittles Memorial Stadium.

              Can I have the Schnapps contract? I'm all about snow and mud.

                Could they just remove the roof from Unidome to make it an outdoor stadium?

                  And the Board of Regents says

                  "You want to do WHAT?"

                    Or they could just take off the white covering. Then it would look like the old Dallas stadium.

                      Why don't we build better bathrooms?

                        What makes you say that? The other state schools have no trouble with attendance playing outdoors.

                        Quite frankly, if what you are saying is true, then we have the most pathetic fan base in this state and possible the entire midwest. Football is meant to be played outdoors, and it can be a major homefield advantage for a team that plays in cold weather. If anyone wouldn't come to watch play football how it's meant to be played, they aren't a real fan.

                          When your entire conference plays in the midwest, it completely negates the advantage of cold weather, its not the NFL, we don't have teams from Fl, TX or Ca coming to the dome in Nov/Dec.

                          Our home field advantage comes from a raucous atmosphere and the fast track that the dome gives us

                            The dome isn't exactly always sold out with a roof on it.

                              Cold weather is not an advantage. It can only be a slight advantage if you are playing a warm weather team and it is zero degrees out. And I can't remember the last time we played a warm weather team.

                              Dome atmosphere and noise is a MUCH greater advantage than playing outside in the cold.
