t's a perfectly good reason to not build roofs.

What would baseball be without an occasional double header.


Owners lose money on doubleheaders… if there’s one these days it’s a day-night doubleheader at 1 and 7

I went to a game at Globe Life in August. Started at 7pm and around 10:00pm fans started cheering for what I thought was no reason. Then I look at the scoreboard and right above it was the temperature…it had finally dipped below 100F. It was miserable.

to at least have a retractable roof in order to avoid rainouts.


Yeah they're gonna throw the money bags at a retractable roof just for the odd rainout? People don't wanna watch baseball indoors, they go partly just to sit in the sun with a beer on a lazy day in this slow moving game. Sweltering Desert heat for 3 months, if that's your teams zipcode climate is worth the investment for a roof but the occasional rainout?

Have you ever been to a game in the summer in Arlington? The Air conditioned part of the covered stadiums is the best part. It might not matter as often for Chicago, New York, San Francisco, etc…but for southern teams it’s a must


This is different than "Every new MLB stadiums should be required to be built with a roof".
