Glad to correct.  Being a self-proclaimed authority on football (in fact, 
all sports in general),  you were wrong twice.  Contrary to what numerous 
people have stated on this newsgroup, the Cowboys do not play indoors.  
They do play on artificial turf, but Texas Stadium in Irvine is NOT a 
dome.  It is unusual, however, since it has a partial roof with a large 
rectangular hole in it - roughly the size of the field - which provides for 
strange shadowing during games.  This is not a retractable roof as someone 
else previously posted.  Your other error is with the Patriots.  They have 
always played outdoors for home games.
