siap, too lazy to search
Who decides if the roof is open/shut and when does it need to be determined by?
What about for NFL games?

Please tell me you're joking. The man makes that decision.

I'm not sure I'm qualified to give the kind of help you need.
But, the hardest part is admitting that you need it, so congrats on that!

I would imagine that Jerry makes that decision - along with the NCAA for this game.
As far as the NFL games go - I would imagine that the team makes that decision.

This is for the NFL:
Regular Game Play
The home team must decide whether the roof will be open or closed during game play at least 90 minutes before kickoff. If the game begins with the roof closed, the roof must remain closed for the entire game. If during the game, officials close the roof due to adverse or changing weather conditions, officials cannot reopen the roof and it must remain closed for the rest of the game. These rules apply to all preseason and regular season games.
End of Game and Overtime
During the final five minutes of the fourth quarter of any regular play game, officials cannot close the retractable roof regardless of adverse or changing weather conditions. If the game goes into overtime, the officials cannot close the roof anytime before or during the sudden death overtime game play. However, if the weather becomes hazardous to fans and players, like in the case of lightning or hail, NFL officials can decide to close the roof for everyone's protection.
Playoff and Superbowl Games
If a divisional playoff or Superbowl game is set to take place in a retractable roof stadium, the NFL decides whether the roof will be open or closed during game play. Once the NFL makes its decision, regular game play and end of game and overtime roof rules apply. If the roof is open at the beginning of the game, it must remain open except in the case of adverse or dangerous weather conditions. If officials close the roof at the beginning of the playoff game or Superbowl, it must remain closed for the entire game.

It's supposed to be in the 50's at kickoff, so I would imagine that they might think it would be too chilly to kick that thing open.

The roof and glass doors will not be open. I have been to Cowboys Stadium probably 15 times for Cowboys, college and high School games..I have never seen the roof open and have seen the glass doors open only twice.

Not sure if you know answer or not, but who actually makes the final decision on that, is it the NCAA, the bowl committee, Jerry ? tia
