Roof at NRG Stadium will be closed for Super Bowl LI

HOUSTON -- The explosive offenses of the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots will play Super Bowl LI on an indoor track.

The NFL announced the retractable roof at NRG Stadium will remain closed.

It's currently mostly cloudy and 75 degrees in Houston. The forecast did call for a slight chance of rain (15 percent) before kickoff, and minute chances (5-10 percent) during the game.

Tom Brady and Matt Ryan can both take advantage of the element-free conditions in what could be a high-scoring affair.
