Reason #252 - Endless Possibilities

If the Browns can make the NFL playoffs, this may be the first time in Cleveland history that all three major sports teams reached the postseason. You see, in Cleveland, anything's possible.

Reason #251 - Roof May Be All We Have

The Cavs have lost five in a row without the injured LeBron James. Their only saving grace - they play under a roof. Otherwise, without LeBron, there is very little to like about this very weak and unmotivated team.

Reason #250 - Baseball Trades

The Indians have seven starting pitchers but no roof on their stadium. Too bad they can't work out that kind of a trade. Unfortunately, you often need that many pitchers because of injuries. But you know one roof can do the job.

Reason #249 - High-Priced Talent

Anderson Varejao, when he finally signs with the Cavs or the Charlotte Bobcats, stands to make between $17 million over the next three years, and he thinks he's underpaid - for a guy who averaged 6.8 points and 6.7 rebounds last season. A roof is ALWAYS a better deal than overpaid players.

Reason #248 - Retractable Technology

The Browns play in sunny Phoenix today, in a stadium with a roof. Nothing to fear, it's retractable, just like Cleveland's should be.

Reason #247 - Hannah Montana

Cleveland has no indoor venue that seats more than 21,000 people. With a dome on one of our stadiums, 60,000 people could get to see the hottest concerts. All the best groups would make Cleveland one of their first stops.

Reason #246 - Injuries

Even LeBron James, probably one of the most well-conditioned athletes ever, can be injured. Something like a sprained finger can make an entire community, even league, jittery. That's the beauty of domes - they have very low injury rates, unless hit by an extreme hail storm, in which case I'd still rather have the hail hit our dome than our multimillion-dollar athletes.
