I can understand the possible problem of a team coming in from sea level to play at the Skydome. However, our guys are used to practicing and playing at an elevation just under 5000 feet. Shouldn't be much of a factor.

One of the Bobcat receivers mentioned the lights in the dome can be a problem, players not being able to find the ball. At least in an outdoor stadium the lights are back and much higher than in a dome.

Wondering IF having our own IPF helps with adjusting to the dome effect. Practice inside all week and crank the chain saws on the sound system might help adjust to it.

I hope so, my understanding is they did practice inside this week. As far as the chainsaws on the sound system I was wondering if it would train the defense to play well and not make mistakes if every time they did make a mistake they heard the chainsaw real loud and when they executed well they heard sweet silence. Train them to hate the chain saw noise and do all they can to avoid it because they'll hate if they hear it in the game.

I think it might help with depth perception and adjusting to going indoors. The air is still and the sound is amplified.

Be careful. Most posters think the elevation is a significant factor. Haha
