From pre-game shots it looks closed.

It is 61 degrees, with a dew point of 46, and a south wind at 8mph...

Please tell me it is open...

I heard earlier in the week that the doors will be open but the roof will be closed.

Why is the roof closed? Weather will not get better than this. Why didn't Jerry just build a dome.

I thought I read somewhere that the doors couldn't be open when the roof is closed because of some concern with the wind or something.

I thought that was in regards to the doors opening, as in they had to be opened simultaneously.

I always thought it was BS but that's how I took it.

Id like to think jerry has an army of researchers to find out what our opponent plays worse in.

Maybe that was it. You would think for 1.3 Billion you wouldn't have to worry that the place would come down like a house of cards if you open the doors wrong.

Memo to people complaining about Roof being closed. When roof is closed, more chance of Noise staying in..... Thats one of the bigger advantages of having a dome stadium vs open air.:cool:

Yeah, I don't get that either. With the doors open, you still have the feel of an outdoor game.

Alot of light and a nice breeze.

it's not a "matter" of life or death, however, this is football and I personally believe it should be played outdoors

I'm just very curious to see exactly what the hell kind of weather it's going to take to open the thing.

I think Jerry's waiting for God Himself to come down and say so... (but I think Jerry considers himself God anyway)

also, back to the question, what was the point of a retractable roof again?
