I don't believe either of In's dome stadiums have/had the retractable roof.

I stand corrected. According to wikipedia, it has a retractable roof and window wall.

That was this year.

Huh? At his first game in Houston (in which Derrick Mason was injured), the roof was open for the entire season. At his second game in Houston, the roof was definitely closed, as the Ravens defense was worn out by the pace of the Texans' offense and won the game in T via interception for a TD. Third game: you were there -- I missed watching it.

What happened to the game we had against the Cowboys the last time they were in their old dome stadium? What were Flacco's stats for that game?

Yeah, you're correct. Weather was great that night and for some reason I remember seeing the night sky but looking at the box score, it says it was closed.

A dome is an ideal environment for a quarterback to thrive in. With little empirical evidence to go on, I don't see any reason why he would not perform as well if not better in a dome.

Huh, I think they should put a dome on M&T.:happyanim

Forget the dome, perhaps some inventive person can create a football helmet with an umbrella that opens automatically upon inclement weather. I think I'll have another drink now... Bc
