Just dropped in to give my respects to Dick Jauron who passed today and his fan base.

He was a good player and a very good coach.

RIP 44 ✌🏼

The Lions' hiring of Tashard Choice shows the team's dedication to the growth of Jahymr Gibbs and that Dan Campbell wasn't lying in his comments after playoff loss

I have always thought the Lions should play outdoors. When Rod Wood mentioned putting a retractable roof on Ford Field I was all for it.

I think they should play outdoors too.

[froot loops]

It s not happening in our lifetime.

No way. I don't care what "they" say. Being cold isn't any fun.

A retractable domed stadium would only be open on days where the conditions were like the dome's interior... so there really isn't any meaningful point to a retractable dome to begin with.

There was a proposal to make Ford Field a retractable dome a few years back to bring an MLS team but it went nowhere.

[wcfwtf]

They had a study done on it and found it wasn’t structurally feasible

They need a retractable roof to bring MLS? Here in BC they have MLS and it's not retractable

[wcfwtf]

Yes. That was the sticking point. They wanted an open air or grass field.
A study was done and the results were that Ford Field could not be converted because the integrity of the structure would suffer

[Mainevent]

As I recall, when Ford Field was being designed, there was a proposal to have a retractable roof but it would have added something like $150-200M to the budget and that would have had to come from public funding so it was never a realistic option at that time.

It was a backup proposal, originally they were going to build a soccer specific stadium at the site where the failed jail construction sat. But that fell through, so they threw that doomed proposal out there.
