Roof open or closed tomorrow?

[Stanford Joel]

Any preferences?

[MTC]

Probably open. 

[Nadine]

should be beautiful.  I bet open

[jmac_48]

Probably open. 

Yeah, but, I really hate the bright and the shadows on the field especially for day games.

Bad for viewing on TV, don't know how it affects the players though.

[NewEra]

My guess open

Thought I was the only one that felt this way. Watching on TV makes it look like the field is a warzone of dark vs light.

Midfield to like the 30's is all light like celebrating there's light. Then you hit that dark zone and it's like......... Okay, who turned out the lights?

Really sucks when there's a deep ball cause you see the ball then it gets lost in the shadows

Whoever laid out the building plan of the stadium didn't really think that roof through. And Irsay didn't review it before he signed the check for it smh

[CR91]

I wonder if the players complain about it being open with the whole sun gets in my eye thing. course they can always wear tinted visors if its a problem or that black stuff reggie wears under his eyes

[IndyD4U]

Better be open! I have to remember to put sunscreen on my big beautiful bald head. 

[shakedownstreet]

I'll picket outside if it isn't open!

[fatboy]

Shadows are a variable that can be viewed as a small advantage for us. I recall a wide open Claveland receiver (Gordon?) losing the ball and sure TD in a close game.

Drove around the stadium this week and it looked they were doing work on the tracks the roofs runs on. May be closed regardless of the western.

Or,   they thought it through and realized that there is nothing they can do about it.

 

It is what it is.....   SMH......

For the love of all that is Holy. Your last line is just complete nonsense. They laid it out exactly as they wanted AFTER giving it much thought including running it by Irsay.

something understood if you've ever seen the spectacular view from the north window. those planners didn't give a crap about shadows on tv, and rightfully so

That's what I thought at first too but look again. His eye are helmet height; his helmet goes into the sun before his feet.

[Timo1]

Of the 5 games i was at last year the only time the roof was open was for the Denver game. There was a cool breeze blowing thru the 500 section that night. Hope the roof is open tomorrow. Going to be 80 and sunny.

[Dr. Guildo]

Partly cloudy early with the sun coming out around game time. So that along with a high of 83 degrees in Indy the roof should be wide open & it should be glorious.

[1yrdandacloudofdust]

I think the roof should stay closed during day gms. Those shadows are horrible, especially on tv.
