you're going wayyyyyyy overboard with the hypothetical situations...
I'm all for them AT THE VERY LEAST waiving their 50 degree rule for the 2014 Bowl in the new stadium... try it out, gauge the fan reaction and overall success of it, then they can decide after that if they're going to do away with the rule for good and actually consider the cold open-air markets..
if they don't let it happen in 2014, with a new stadium in New York of all places, I'm convinced it will never happen... and THAT would be a shame.
