The Ravens’ preparation for Sunday’s road game against the Bills includes more than prepping for what they’ll see the Bills try to do on the field over the course of the game.

      Miami puts the opposing team in direct sunlight and they get to be in the shade, which is incredibly deliberate vs just not having a dome. So Buffalo, Giants/Jets (share MetLife), and Patriots force them to play in cold wintery weather. Watching Miami fall apart in cold weather is beautiful so I am happy the new Highmark stadium is not a dome.

      No they can’t. The structural changes necessary to put a roof on are ridiculously expensive and would not extend the life of a stadium.

      Plus, having a full roof presents many challenges and if there’s a major issue, they can’t be readily converted. Even stadia with retractable roofs would struggle to host a game during bad weather if the roof was stuck open.
