can we get a gofundme for a retractable dome?

Some of you people are insane. We’re not getting a roof. 

And we’re going to keep having night games.

If we can't get a roof or faraday cage and we insist on playing football when it displeases the thunder gods then we shouldn't complain when we get rained out.

 
You got $100 to $150 million? That's what it will roughly cost. 

It's a silly idea, brought on by the frustration of a once-in-a-lifetime event that squashed what was supposed to be an epic night in the history of Husker football. Let's not completely lose our sense of sanity over it. 

 
I made a joke tweet about the rumored LINOMA dome that was supposed to be built in the late 1980s. You guys can’t be serious about a freaking dome. 

 
How the times have changed.  About 22 years ago, my cousin told me this "joke"....    "Did you hear that we're building a dome over Memorial Stadium?  Yeah, it's to keep frost off the field."    Now, we want one to keep Frost ON the field.

Thats a high estimate.  But even if it cost a third of that it would be a stupid investment.

You might be right; I found a couple articles citing costs of retractable roofs for both New Yankee Stadium and Met Life in New York, and those were the estimates provided. 

 
This reminds me of that time a guy tried to take down a plane using his shoe and then for the rest of eternity everyone in America had to take their shoes off at the airport.

The big difference between this overreaction and that one is there’s a lot less chance of mass death in the specific area of memorial stadium due to thunderstorms.
