    I don't mind domes, really, but I prefer outdoor baseball.

    I do perfer it outside, but Seattle, with all that rain is one place that deserves a dome. I don't think they'd be able to play all their home games, without the majority of them being double headers.

    Retractable is the way to go, I'm not a big fan of full enclosure.

    I voted no. The only sports that should be played indoors is basketball and anything that involves playing it on ice.

    The game is meant to be played outside, but obviously sometimes that's not possible in some cities. So I agree that the retractable roofs are a good idea. But man do they cost $$$!

    I think if at all possible the game should be played outside, but in some northern cities really need another option because of the weather in the beginning & the end of the seasons. These cities should have retracted roofs.

    Baseball is meant to be played outdoors. If Atlanta had a retractable I wouldn't be able to see the Atlanta skyline from the top of the stadium like I do when I sit up top. It's a great view.
