Open or closed? How the AT&T roof plays into Michigan-Florida season opener

Open or closed?

When Michigan and Florida take the field for their season opening matchup in Arlington,Texas, both teams will be looking up at something very different than the view in their respective home stadiums.

A roof that moves.

AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys and the largest stadium in the NFL, is equipped with a retractable roof that can turn nasty weather into a non-factor.

But how to decide if to flip the switch.

AT&T Stadium follows NFL regulations when it comes to the roof. That means:

  • The roof can only be closed during the game if rain or other hazardous weather conditions develop or are anticipated.
