Bijan Robinson Urges 32 NFL Teams to Play Indoors as 6 of 7 New Stadium Plans Enclose Fields

Summary
Bijan Robinson said he wants every NFL team to play in domed stadiums, arguing indoor venues remove rain, snow, wind and cold as excuses and create uniform playing conditions.
10 NFL stadiums already have domes or fixed/retractable roofs, and 11 teams avoid weather for home games, giving Robinson and the Falcons a setup he called a "huge advantage."
6 of 7 NFL stadium projects under construction or planned would enclose the field in some form, with Buffalo's new Highmark Stadium the main open-air exception.
Traditional football culture remains the biggest obstacle: Robinson acknowledged fans in places like Buffalo embrace snow games, making a fully indoor 32-team league unlikely anytime soon.
Atlanta's 2026 schedule underscores his point — the Falcons have only 5 outdoor games left, letting them spend most Sundays shielded from the elements.
