Glass Dome for WaGriz?

From December 2009:

... The dome idea went out with the first expansion. It was originally built to facilitate a dome, but the north end zone construction took care of that. It structurally isn't possible, unless you were to build a tent type structure that was completely self-supporting....

Thanks for the info. No more from me re: domes. :o

Why couldn't you just keep your word on this one?
 
Grizzola, a lot of Griz fans agree upon many things. A lot have many things in common. Do you realize, in a fan base of hundreds of thousands of people, you are the ONLY fan that has ever wished Wash-Griz was domed? Like seriously, I almost think you're joking when it comes to this idea. I have a hard time believing you actually believe this.

Sure, I mean, US Bank only cost $1.1 billion. Denny's worth at least that much, right?

WTF? A glass enclosure for WaGris wouldn't be that expensive. Get real, for god's sake! Look at the Vikings' website photos of their new stadium. If you haven't, your opinion is of no account.

...I'd like to stick with the A-z's original thread reply comment and see what we could do to get Queens of the Stone Age to play a great NO_DOME experience @ Wa. Griz...

No, I'm not joking, Havre. We have people like Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk who, out of millions of people conceived their ideas that have changed this nation. Ok, I'm no Jobs, Bezos, or Musk, and WaGriz is a far cry from their achievements, but your comment that I'm the only one out of the many of GrizNation to propose this idea is irrelevant to me.

For those too lazy to look up the Vikings' U.S. Bank Stadium, here's a link:

The idea of bringing the outdoors to the indoors comes from no less than Frank Lloyd Wright!

I, too, would like to see a dome. On our indoor practice facility.

What's the diff, Everett?

Well, the practice facility is where the Griz would practice for games, and the stadium is where the Griz would actually play games.

Yeah, no one liked your idea in 2009 when you posted it then either David2.

A glass dome (or any dome) - easy answer - no.

2 things about that old topic:

1: That was right before the 09 App State game. Part of the legacy of that game is the halftime blizzard and the change in field conditions the second half.

2: One of the first responses references how the sky divers wouldn't be able to land. Who would have guessed that tradition would end anyways within the next few years :(
 
I am against this idea.

With a dome any of CDA's snakes which get loose during a game would be trapped in there with us.

As is, the snakes he misplaces can slither away down by the river or onto Mt Sentinel.
