There is some question about why a dome isn't a fully enclosed building. Ask the Seattle Mariners.

No, you're right. There's really no way lightning strikes through there.
Unless it's ball lightning which is a phenomenon that no one understands and is fantastically rare so it's not really something you try to mitigate at all because it'd be only slightly less asinine than trying to plan for a unicorn teleporting onto the field with 30 seconds left in the 4th.
I mean unless LA built their tesla tower stadium without the ability to deal with lightning which would just be *chef's kiss" for LA.
I do not know whether or not they delay games for lightning though

They’ve had a delay for rain.
Also it's why when lightning strikes do happen in stadiums. It's in old stadiums, but open stadiums use lightning protection, college stadiums have lightning protection. High schools sit the away teams family on metal bleachers.
I think we all predicted disaster for Urban Meyer in Jacksonville but I didn't quite foresee this level of self-sabotage. I just figured he'd suck as an NFL coach and act like a big baby in press conferences. I didn't have "Ditches his team after a Thursday loss to get caught on video dry humping and fingering the crack of a 20-year-old at his weird-ass* steakhouse" on my bingo card but maybe some of you did.
*I know many iconic football coaches (Shula, Lombardi, etc) open steakhouses but Meyer's apparently has a dancefloor with a disco light?
- Stays in Ohio to party
- Gets filmed grinding with a young woman at a bar and sticking his hand up her butt
- Cancels Monday’s team meeting where he was supposed to address it and instead talks to position groups individually
- Players reporting that they burst out laughing after he left the room
- Owner makes a statement today that he’s lost the respect of the organization and has to earn it back
He’s doing great.
Something about this line in particular just has the strongest college-football-coach energy. If you told me he spun his chair around and sat on it youth-pastor style I wouldn't be surprised.
Of course, the rest of it has even stronger college-football-coach energy since college football coaches are massive scumbags.
•Hired a strength coach that was JUST fired for being a racist bully shit head, claimed he properly vetted the hire and stuck with it, fired the dude the next day and gave some “accountability/core values” whatever bullshit reason
•Gave a limited tryout spot to an undeserving, white 34 year old who had never played the position he was trying out for before
And of course the off field shit for all his Florida players and the failure to protect Courtney Smith and subsequent coverups of it at OSU
Edit: “most people miss opportunity because it’s dressed in overalls and looks like work” oh yeah that’s the pablum, that’s the stuff!

honestly it makes you feel like we may've been too hard on the Browns
Isn’t there a Premier League team too
The best part of this is that even though it's the inciting incident nobody in that building actually cares about the infidelity. This is all because the team is Bad Bad and he's tried to handle this like the team is dumb children.
Bring back Bortles!
The NFL isn’t involved, it’s all about him yelling at his players about character and hard work and then being caught on video with his finger in some rando’s butt crack. It IS about him being terrible at his job.
abandoning your team to creep on 20-year-old women in your home territory is being terrible at his job
also it's just fuckin' gross.
A lot of the college culture nonsense is predicated on pulling kids from their relatively small home life and right into your bubble of bullshit
Come Overwatch with meeeee
Maybe they can get Hue Jackson to take over for Meyer?
No?
Rob Chudzinski is available I think…
He's also a right wing moralizing blowhard, so it's hilarious.
I doubt they will, though
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
The NFL isn't policing anything. His owner is, which is totally appropriate if he thinks that skipping the team flight home from a game to go party is indicative of a head coach maybe not being suited to the job.

Ventilation. If it’s fully enclosed you need to move air through and out the building. If it’s not you do not(as much)
Also it’s entirely unnecessary to delay for lightning. Lightning isnt going to come through the sides of the building any more than it’s going to come through a window.
They delay until they can close the roof. Roof policy is to not close unless it’s clear it’s necessary so if the rain starts during the game it’s possible to have a small delay
There has been one actual delay because the roof failed to close during a significant downpour. So you know. Roofs work when the roof works
Do not engage the Watermelons.
If you can’t see what’s funny about a stadium with a roof having a rain delay then I don’t know what to tell you. It’s very on brand for the Mariners.
