Why do most of the stadiums not have a roof? Must be an absolute bugger for the ones located in cold northern areas in the middle of Winter.

Went to Met Life to see the Patriots play the Jets at the end of November a few years ago and was on the back row where there is an opening between the top of the stands and the roof that covers the stand. It was bloody freezing with the wind coming in!!Yeah, it is. If you're in level 3 at Gillette Stadium for a cold weather game you are in trouble.

Because it’s a shite sportWhy do most of the stadiums not have a roof? Must be an absolute bugger for the ones located in cold northern areas in the middle of Winter.
Thats mainly because the grounds are miles from anywhere with massive car parks and they all drive there. This is an aerial view of Metlife which is over in New Jersey but not that far from New York and despite being an 80,000 seat stadium its swamped by the car parks around it!The have tail gate parties before the match. Couldn't imagine that at the sOL.
Can't get parked anywhere near the ground. WDSC.The have tail gate parties before the match. Couldn't imagine that at the sOL.
They seem to deal with it....The fans aren’t soft as shite unless us.

A number of things. Tradition. Machismo. But probably most of all, and this is particularly true of the biggest stadiums in the north of the US, for engineering and costs reasons.Why do most of the stadiums not have a roof?

Michigan being a prime example of this....think they just started with a bowl and its got bigger and bigger apart from a minor issue recently where they lost some capacity due to have to redesign some bits for disabled access. Saw something on social media once that suggested Michigan held some record of having had consecutive 100,000+ sell outs dating back to the late 70s\early 80s.Generally, the biggest football stadiums are actually in the college game rather than NFL and they are almost entirely huge, roofless bowls. If you can get 100-120k plus fans inside I guess you will, won't you?

I would very much like Newcastle to build something like that on the outskirts of Cramlington.Thats mainly because the grounds are miles from anywhere with massive car parks and they all drive there.
