It should be open air.

Why?
The NFL has a long history with stadium innovation, dating all the way back to when the Houston Oilers made the Astrodome their permanent home from 1968-96.
(Opened in 1965)

The reality is they're screwing themselves by moving back indoors. Should have won the Seattle playoff game. But Seattle would have beat them by more points if they played that game indoors. They made 4 sb's playing outdoors and zero since. Divisional teams like green bay and Chicago use the Midwestern climate to their advantage. I get a cozy environment for the fans but I think it comes at a cost.

Perhaps they're thinking of hosting future Super Bowls and don't want the weather to inhibit them. GB is more concerned about winning them

I guess it won't have no soul and no advantage...probably price out the real fans...right

Playing indoors will be much better for Teddy Bridgewater's weak-ass arm. I'm sure the fans will appreciate it too.
AD ain't going to be picking up the hard yards forever after all.

It's still better than Levi's. Every other stadium is (except maybe Qualcomm, O.CO). LA Coliseum is possibly even better and that's only a temp. Rams venue. The concessions and amenities at Levi's are top-notch, although overpriced. But they're missing the most important thing. A true HFA.

That type of s**t starts with the fans. True it helps to have a stadium like Seattle's that is structurally designed to hold in the noise. But there's no noise to hold in unless the fans are creating it. For whatever reason we don't seem to have that type of crowd. I'm sure some sections get loud at times but it's not a co-ordinated effort by the entire crowd throughout the course of an entire game.

So funny how many people complain about Levis.
I wonder if Levis was built at Candlestick Point looking exactly the way it does if people would still complain?
