    Ballpark weather FAQs

    No. It is a fixed dome with a controlled interior, so wind, rain, heat and humidity have no effect on the game.

    Because people search it. The honest answer — it is a dome, conditions are constant — is the answer, and it is better said plainly than dressed up.

    Not the play itself. Hurricanes have damaged the building and forced relocations, but inside the dome conditions stay the same year-round.
