Which NFL Stadiums Have Domes?

A fixed-roof stadium, called a dome in the game data, is indoors for every game. Five stadiums in the league are recorded this way. All 261 games played in them from 2021 to 2025 are recorded as dome games.

SoFi Stadium is the only one of the five with two teams. It is the home of both the Los Angeles Chargers and the Los Angeles Rams, which is why it appears in 88 games, about twice as many as the others. The data records SoFi Stadium as a dome, and this page follows that classification.

A second group of five stadiums has a roof that can open and close. The league's data records for each game whether the roof was closed or open. Over the five seasons these five stadiums show both values, which is how this page identifies a retractable roof: a stadium whose games were played both with the roof closed and with it open.

Across those five stadiums, the roof was closed in 184 of 216 games, which is 85.2 percent, and open in 32. The roofs were closed in every game in 2025, which makes the retractable-roof stadiums play like indoor stadiums in practice. The open games are a small share, and all of them came in 2021, 2022 and 2023.

The other 20 stadiums are recorded as outdoors in every game played there from 2021 to 2025. One of them, MetLife Stadium, is shared by the New York Giants and the New York Jets.

Stadium names change with sponsorship deals, and the game data used here has carried older names for some venues. The names in the table are the ones recorded for the 2026 season. Open-air does not mean the weather is the same everywhere: the table lists roof type, not climate.

In the 2025 season the data holds 285 games, regular season and playoffs together. Of those, 50 were played in fixed-roof stadiums and 42 in retractable-roof stadiums with the roof closed, which is 92 games, or 32.3 percent. The other 193 games were played outdoors.

Over the five seasons from 2021 to 2025 the data holds 1,424 games. Of those, 261 were played in fixed-roof stadiums and 184 in retractable-roof stadiums with the roof closed, which is 445 games, or 31.2 percent. A further 32 games were played in a retractable-roof stadium with the roof open, and 947 were played outdoors. In other words, a little under a third of NFL games are played indoors, and about two-thirds are played in the open.

Eleven of the 32 teams play their home games under a roof, which is 34 percent of the league, a share that is close to the share of games because every team plays about the same number of home games. The count of teams is higher than the count of stadiums, 10, because of SoFi Stadium.

The share of games played under a roof is not fixed from year to year, because it depends on how many retractable roofs were closed and on how many games were played in total in the season.

The share of games played under a roof ran from 29.1 percent in 2021 to 34.4 percent in 2024. The count includes the playoffs and the games played abroad, which is why the totals differ a little from the regular-season schedule.

The same games table records the temperature and the wind for games played outdoors, which shows what a roof removes. Of the 947 games played in open-air stadiums from 2021 to 2025, 827 have a temperature in the table, and the average was 56.0 degrees Fahrenheit. 77 of them, 9.3 percent, were played at 32 degrees or colder. The coldest was Miami Dolphins at Kansas City Chiefs on January 13, 2024, at -4 degrees, and the hottest was Washington at Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 8, 2024, at 93 degrees. In 95 of the 827 games with a wind reading, 11.5 percent, the wind was 15 miles per hour or more.

The cold is a late-season matter: the games at 32 degrees or colder are concentrated in the last months of the schedule and the playoffs, and only a single February game is in the table. These figures are the values recorded in the nflverse table and are rounded to whole degrees.

The share of open roofs has not been steady. The table counts the games in the five retractable-roof stadiums for each season.

The roofs were closed in every game in 2025, which makes the retractable-roof stadiums play like indoor stadiums in practice. The open games are a small share, and all of them came in 2021, 2022 and 2023. The table records what happened in each game, not why a roof was open or closed.

The list uses the games table of the open nflverse project, which records the stadium, a stadium code and the roof state for each game. Games played from the 2021 season to the 2025 season with a final score were included, 1,424 in all. A stadium is listed as a fixed roof if every game there was recorded as a dome, as a retractable roof if it was recorded both closed and open, and as open air if every game was recorded as outdoors. The percentages are calculated from those counts.

The data is the nflverse games table. Team and stadium pairings follow the table. The list covers the stadiums used by the league's 32 teams. The counts include neutral-site games played abroad, which use other stadiums that are not listed in the tables. More football pages are collected on the NFL hub, and the size of the field is covered on the page about the dimensions of a football field.
