I am with you there.
Domes tend to pussify fans to the point where they seem to become more "fair weather". As to how much it effects the players is hard to tell. Figure every team plays "some" of their games outdoors, whether they are home or away.
As far as Indy's stadium is concerned. They played at least 3 or 4 games this year where they opened the roof that I know of.
I found it funny that they opened the roof when the Broncos came to Indy just to mess with Peyton. And they beat him.
