Dome Alone

A few years ago, rumors began to float about a proposed track around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The most striking piece of information was this: It was going to be completely enclosed. Most fans (including myself) had this reaction:

"What?!? Are they serious? Why the hell would you build a domed race track? How have domes helped anything in any sport, anyway? Just look at the Metrodome, the Kingdome, even the Astrodome--big boxes with no personality. And what about the sound and smoke? You'll probably leave the track with no hearing and clogged lungs. There's no chance that thing will ever get a race date, much less be built."

However, after two days at a racetrack filled with heat, humidity, and rain, most fans (including myself), have this reaction:
"Man, I really wish they'd put a roof over this thing."
