This rant may be a decade overdue but...A Domed stadium in Florida? What were they thinking? Who made this call?

What do you mean? It rains ALOT in Florida.

The thing is pretty much a monstrosity. I drove past it a few years ago going to one of Tampa's fine gentleman's clubs.

Just kidding, we were looking for something to eat.

Well, the heat and humidity midsummer Florida is awful. However, why not a retractable roof, ala the Diamondbacks?

I believe it was converted to baseball, that was not it's original intention...

it rains every day is Florida during the summer. They are also able to completely close it up and it is hurricane proof. Or in case of a drought, they can fill it and use it as a water tower.

And its a nice place to see a game. They have tables at field level, you can sit and have a beer and chat with the Cardinals in the bullpen.
