Makes sense. The article plays down the possibility of PSLs, but I see them as an inevitability.

Retractable roofs are rarely ever opened in most stadiums so adding a full enclosure with some glass views of the exterior would be most beneficial.  

I don't believe our fans would support as is the case in other cities.  Given the increase in home and auto insurance, as well as other items across our state, the last thing I'm going to do is commit to any PSL.  In fact, my big [BLEEP] TV, 70 degree thermostat setting, $2 IPAs, and $18 three pound bag of wings, is becoming more and more enticing the older I become.
