    Not having a roof shouldn't affect anything regarding games being called off due to the weather -- but the atmosphere is so much better with any roof being shut.

    Makes t'singing really loud, like.

    Agreed. It's much harder to raise the roof if it isn't there.

    Maybe they could chuck some canvas over the arch and turn it into a giant marquee.

    Just read this topic and a thought came to mind about the cost of dismanteling the old stadium -- if you had asked the Scots they would have done it for nothing

    I heard today the NFL has agreed to play a regular-season game there, and the tickets are pre-sold in excess of capacity to the tune of several hundred thousand.

    The numbers surely can't be right, given the game's inferior quality.

    Of course, as an American, I am not qualified to comment.

    Several hundred thousand tickets for one game?

    I mis-spoke.

    The gist of it was 4-5 hundred thousand tickets could have been sold based on interest expressed, or some such.

    I could not discern whether the numbers were NFL hype or originated from Wembley officials.

    I find it hard to believe, given the general contempt for the American game, but again, what do I know?

    I doubt it was anywhere near that many people, like.
