will a college team ever have a real first class stadium. with a retractable roof ?
I think in 20 years, at least 1 will have one.
think about it. Arizona Cardinals new stadium costs 455 million. the economic impact of the stadium is expected to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

so big time programs like Nebraska, Notre Dame, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, Miami (FL), Michigan, etc....
A corporate sponsor. along with alumni donations.
Also, these teams have tons of players in the nfl. each could give a million or few million.
look at the number of players these teams have in the NFL
Nebraska 36
Notre Dame 37
Georgia 46
Tennessee 42
Texas 25
Miami (FL) 53
Michigan 45
So do you think it will happen?

If you don't think that there isn't enough money in college sports, you are SADLY mistaken. EVERY sinlge CEO (ok, there's a couple exceptions, but not many) is a graduate of some college. There are people that would do it, just to say that they are the ones that did it.
"Hey Bob, have you seen my new solid gold umberella stand, that goes in my new Rolls? It also has.."
"Listen George, I don't want to hear sh!t aoubt your new ride, have seen my personal ball washer? And look, here's a picture of the new stadium I just built with a retractable roof that my Horns will be whippin your bucks @ss in this year!! "
Oh, as an aside, the NFL'ers are not even close to the richest alumni that all of the major univerisities have as benefactors.

I think only one major program has it's own dome to begin with Syracuse the others college programs that use domes I believe are in major cities and are also used by pro sports teams as well. I don't think it be cost effected to build a dome in Michigan say. the stadium hold close to 100,000 and if you build a staduim with a dome you end up losing seats or what could be seats to support the dome.

No, there will never be that much money invested in college sports - unless Bill Gates matriculates at Notre Dame.
