I don't think that it would really matter. Practicing outdoors for an indoor environment might actually be beneficial in that you are practicing in worse conditions than in an environment controlled dome. If the guys are practicing in say 20 degree weather all week and end up playing in a 70 degree dome, they will love it. The elements also makes the guys tougher. Look at what is going to happen to Indy when they have to play in Foxboro for the AFC title game. Those dome boys are going to freeze their asses off and get spanked again. Also, what are there? Only 4 dome team in the entire league now? Why spend a ton of $$$$$$$$$$ to get ready for 4 teams you might only play once every 3-4 years. The only way an indoor facility would be beneficial is in the offseason or preseason during rainouts, etc.
