You put roofs on every stadium and it might as well be arena football. QBs and offenses already have such an imbalanced rules advantage.

He had a reputation for big hits and crazy celebrations which earned him the love of the NFL world.He played in the Super Bowl in his rookie year, where the Colts lost to the New Orleans Saints. During his eight-year career, McAfee made two Pro Bowls and was an All-Pro in 2014. He retired from the NFL in February 2017. Since retiring, he has become a mainstay and fan-favorite as an analyst. He also commentates on and occasionally performs in the WWE.He now has his own show, where he expressed his opinion that all stadiums should have both a dome and turf with zero wind.&quot;Every stadium should have a dome. Every stadium should have turf. Every stadium should be 75 degrees with no wind at all. Let those punts fly through the stadium. There's no need for a little side wind.&quot;Currently, five NFL teams play in stadiums with retractable roofs: the Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, and the Colts.Six teams in the league play in a domed stadium: Detroit Lions, Raiders, Los Angeles Rams &amp; Los Angeles Chargers (both teams play at SoFi Stadium), Minnesota Vikings, and the New Orleans Saints.If you use any of the above quotes, please credit The Pat McAfee Show and H/T Sportskeeda.
