BoSolich Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 tonight could easily have been avoided with a retractable dome. add up callahan, bo, and riley's contracts and we could probably have afforded one. 2 Quote Link to comment
The Murphinator Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 No. This is the first time a game has been cancelled due to weather. There is no need to make a rash decision based on something that rarely ever happens. 2 Quote Link to comment

Or we could have pushed the start time up to 2:30 and avoided the mess all together. We do not need a retractable roof. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm not an engineer or a construction expert, but I think it would cost considerably more than those three contracts. Quote Link to comment

TherealTomOsborne Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 While on the GoFundMe topic, let's start one for tickets and plane rides for the 2019 recruits. The pregame environment was awesome, but it had to leave something to be desired. Waste of an official. Quote Link to comment
dvdcrr Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Can the old stadium be retrofitted successfully? Or would it require a new stadium? Something with say... easy access from I-80, a huge parking lot, 110,000 modern seats, fully stocked bar/ viewing deck? Quote Link to comment
4skers89 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Why don't we stop scheduling night games at this time of year? Probably the reason this rarely happened was because we played during the day which is why the B1G didn't have night games. 1 Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Some of you people are insane. We’re not getting a roof. And we’re going to keep having night games. 9 Quote Link to comment
