Do they take the roof off the dome for winter or something?

I think the NCAA liked Frisco because it had tailgating lots plus other areas for pre-game activities. How many fans want to tailgate in below zero weather or even wait outside for the team walks from the bus into the stadium?

This will be awesome for a couple years, and in 2 decades the fcs will be 100000% worse than it would have been without it.

No different than what the FBS is doing right now.

The FBS would be better if it wasn't doing this right now.

FBS is a case study as to why its a bad idea for almost everyone, and a really great idea for a couple people.
