Just saying you can only change a sport so much before it loses it's foundation of what made it a success. The NFL is a hardcore league. That is part of its intrigue.

Making Football a indoor sport takes away part of what Football is or was. Just because the new generation accepts it doesn't change that. IMO.
Football was originally played outdoors because sporting events back in the day were basically in the medieval era ( yes i know the early 1900's were not medieval times but you must get my drift) and we had no technology for domes and massive stadiums etc etc.
Why would you want to hold a sport competition in the rain or snow?
There's a reason the term "rain out" was coined.
There are no stats for "who throws the best spiral in the wind".
