Is it curtains for non-retractable domed stadiums around the country?

After years of discussion, Minneapolis finally approved partial funding for a $1 billion project (likely to include a retractable roof).* In Atlanta, Falcons ownership has declared their 20-year old Georgia Dome obsolete for contemporary NFL luxury accommodations. And in St. Louis, Rams owners want a dramatic renovation to the Edward Jones Dome.
