The problem with the Sugar tweet is that it didn’t make sense. Some guy tells the narrator to “pour some sugar on me” and he freaks out because of his Dad’s encounter? It has to be the narrator being threatened with sugar but that’s not how the joke reads.
The purpose of a dome is to make it more inviting for customers. NFL teams are selling a product that is more appealing to customers in attendance if they are kept dry and at the right temperature. They also buy more concessions items when their nachos aren't getting soggy, and the seat stays dry. It is exclusively a business investment decision and has nothing to do with athletic performance. The proposition is more appealing to the business when they can get the taxpayers to cover the cost. Are there domed high-school stadiums? Domed college stadiums? Have European soccer teams built domed stadiums? Are there domed baseball stadiums? I am also not surprised that some fans like bad weather, just like many fans like the outdoor experience when the weather is nice. And since the majority of viewer related income is from various forms of broadcast contracts it is possible that some teams believe they get a viewer boost from weather impacts. This might be further enhanced by the arrival of sports betting which might like the additional variability in playing conditions.
