"A final proposal was put out by the <a class="" href='http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/indianapolis-colts'>Colts</a>, and would allow home teams with retractable roof stadiums to open or close the roof at halftime. Currently, the roof position cannot be changed after the opening kickoff."
IMO This would be very benefitial to teams who have the option to open/close their roof.. for example: Home team leading by 14 at half time and it's raining out side, open the roof and make it more difficult for the opposing team to pass the ball. Talk about home field advantage.

That would really really suck.

If it happens, I hope we get a retractable roof lol.
That would be unacceptable.
Only 4 NFL teams currently have retractable roofs:
-Indianapolis Colts
-Houston Texans
-Dallas Cowboys
-Arizona Cardinals
I don't think the rule will pass. Interestingly the Titans and Jaguars potentially could be impacted the most, as the other two teams in the division have retractable roofs.
I'm pretty sure that the logic would be opening or closing it at halftime dependent upon whether the weather had improved or worsened. A team that opens its roof at halftime to let a monsoon fall upon their trailing opponents would probably face stiff fines, loss of draft picks, suspensions, etc.

I wouldn't put it past the Colts. Now that they got Luck, they don't care. Just look at Irsay & Trent
Football was meant to be played outside. Period.
Silly me. I thought they meant they'd open or close it just for half-time. I guess I'm just not devious enough to figure they'd use the roof to cheat...

Yeah! It's part of the Ten Commandments. Or the Bill of Rights. Or the Geneva Convention. One of those.
The clots are also lobbying for a piped in crowd noise switch. If you don't ask you don't know, exclaims Isray, fresh out the box
