The Dome is perfectly good as a venue for large gatherings--but it isn't
Lucas Oil Stadium. It sure isn't
AT&T Stadium. (Shoot, I personally think
Williams-Brice Stadium holds up against it--even if it's apples-to-oranges.)
But, of course, the large gatherings aren't the money--it's the
suites, the
skyboxes, the
executive clubs, the
big lounges. The ones that go for five figures a season
each (considering what we'd call Very Good Seats go for
about $9,000 for the Cowboys). THAT is where the Dome is lacking, and because it's next to impossible to retrofit a domed stadium you're left starting over.
