They say the Sunbelt is so much better as far as weather and everything. Then, the question becomes, if the weather is so much better, then why are all these retractable roofed, air conditioned stadiums being built in the South? (Houston, Phoenix, and even Miami is planning a new one)
I heard that Minnesota is planning to build an open air baseball stadium to replace the Metrodome. MN will get really cold for those early Spring games. We know they wouldn't even consider building a total open air stadium in Houston (those Houstonians are addicted to a/c).
Another thing I can't understand is why the Astros field is closed when the temperature is above 80 degrees. I consider 85 degrees and sunny to be perfect "baseball weather". It gets much warmer than 80 degrees in the North and most people up there don't complain.
I guess my question is "Why are all these retractable stadiums being built in the South if the South is such a much better climate than the North?"
