[ML Football] Hamilton County looking at putting a dome over the Bengals stadium

35 comments
  1. I understand the people that don’t want this for the sake of the hard-nosed AFC North standard and honestly I kind of feel the same way but I get it. This is the way all the stadiums in inclement weather areas are trending towards and for once maybe we won’t be the last ones to drag ourselves out of the stone age on a problem. Shows some forward thinking in my opinion and in the long run is probably a good idea.

  2. As a fan who sits in outdoor stadiums I’m ok with a dome, but as a fan who couch watches fuck it keep it open!

  3. I love having the view of the city in the background so I’m opposed to this, but I can understand why people want it so badly. Especially being in Ohio.

  4. I’m an AFC north purist no dome. That said, I get why and if it actually gets Cincinnati more money (city) I’m good with it

  5. I love afc north football and playing outside in the snow. But this is needed for the sake of global warming and the increasingly violent weather. Maybe like the Texas have, retractable?

  6. Realistically, adding a dome to this stadium would require an effort not unlike what they just did to the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid. I’d bet that just building a dome would be cheaper.

    Since the city needs an arena and a dome, is there any way to make a dual-use venue that could be used by the Cyclones and the Bengals? It might look a bit ridiculous on Cyclones gameday with so many empty seats but the reality is that the dome fulfills all of the requirements that the city would need in an arena anyways.

  7. Why can’t domes be deconstructable? Like put the roof February through July and remove it for football season

  8. Strange title. Shouldn’t it say “One of Forbes richest Mike Brown” instead of “Hamilton County”? Oh wait taxpayers are going to pay for this aren’t they

  9. Man, I saw my first game this year and the view was awesome. Don’t know how I feel about this. How about they just have the taxpayers pay for Tee? lol

  10. They saw what two Taylor Swift concerts did for the economy of downtown cincy. They want that all year round. Other big concerts, WWE, Super Bowl, etc…

  11. spend money to get wayyy more money through offseason events at PBS. I’m in!

    added bonus that the games won’t be decided by weather.

  12. Cold weather football is the best. It rarely snows here on game days and when it does it’s a real treat. Stay home if you can’t handle it the one or two games we get where it’s freezing temps.

  13. Hell no. Takes the weather out of football.

    If your scared of the cold go move to Miami and be a dolphins fan

  14. In my opinion having a dome changes the fan atmosphere and experience in a negative way. In my opinion it just doesn’t feel the same watching football indoors.

  15. I went to the game in Detroit a couple years ago and I gotta say watching the game in a dome sucks. Doesn’t feel like football.

    Keep it how it is

  16. No. Football is an outdoor sport, keep it that way. Also quit wasting money on a franchise committed to mediocrity.
