Fargo, North Dakota built the Fargo dome in 1990 for under $50 million. 20,000 seats for football so a bit small, but it's a dome.
I would rather 20,000 seats out in the open than a smaller cramp dome, rainfall, snow or whatever be dammed.

I agree with the last point... Fargodome is interesting in that you don't see many smaller cities that can boast of having a dome, but it is a pretty drab shed of a building... almost like a hangar with grandstands. I think a well designed outdoor stadium is preferable... that's why I wince when Calgary talks about building its "fieldhouse" for the Stamps.
