Why aren’t football stadiums in colder climates always designed as a closed dome?

For example, when the Green Bay Packers built their stadium they had to have known it would constantly be snowing. Same with Kansas Citt Chiefs.

A) Money. Domes are quite a bit more expensive

B) Structural concerns as well. Not every place can physically support a dome. For instance, Cleveland said that the current stadium location could not support a dome – it’d weigh too much and cause the stadium to sink.

C) there’s definitely some “identity” element to it as well as seen by Green Bay and Buffalo fans. Some people like the cold.
