Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

Glenn Folau asks This question may have been asked before, but are you one of the 2 percent of Americans who have been to every state in the US? Secondly, I have just heard that the Cleveland Browns have decided to move to an undercover all purpose stadium and leaving their traditional home. I have read that this is a trend among some franchises. Any chance the Packers would ever move to an all purpose roofed stadium?

Yes, I have been to every state. In fact, I’ve been to every state twice. If I were to drive around New England again, I’d have visited every state three times.

Domed stadiums are becoming the norm in the NFL. They remove the elements and are more comfortable for fans.

That being said, the Packers will never move into a domed stadium.

One of the big reasons for building a domed stadium is that it can serve as a venue for concerts and other bing events. There are no big concerts that come to Green Bay, Wisconsin. The town is so small, there is nothing but football.

The Packers have invested a lot of money into Lambeau Field, and as more and more teams build indoor stadiums, the advantage of playing outdoors, especially in a cold climate, becomes greater.
