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 $$$$$$$$$$ to get ready for 4 teams you might only play once every 3-4 years. The only way an indoor facility would be beneficial is in the offseason or preseason during rainouts, etc.
Snyder spends a ton of $$ on everything. It wouldn't have to be the sickest indoor facility around, but having the option to practice indoors may help at times. Many teams around the league have and indoor field, or at least a facility they can outsource for such purposes. This offense hasn't exactly been a juggernaut the past 4 seasons. It couldn't hurt.
