Oregon quarterback Dylan Gabriel thinks football games should be played without bad weather

Star football quarterback for the Oregon Ducks Dylan Gabriel made it clear in what conditions, in his opinion, football games should be played.

During an interview with KOIN News on Tuesday before his team’s Rose Bowl game against Ohio StateGabriel described his ideal vision of the conditions his games should be played in and questioned the notion of playing in snow and rain.

“We love the warm weather. I think we should play more football on nice grass instead of artificial grass. And the more sun the better. Why are we doing this to ourselves? Do the fans want to sit in the snow and the rain ?” Gabriel said. “Let’s just do arenas. Let’s do domes. Let’s do grass. Let’s do more fireworks during games.”

Gabriel didn’t even rule out support for all college football games to be played in Hawaii.

“I don’t think anybody’s going to be mad about it,” Gabriel, a native of Hawaii, said of the idea. “Let’s find more sun.”

Gabriel, who is coming off his sixth season of college football, has been one of the best defenders this season. In 2024 Gabriel was named a first-team All-American, Big 10 MVP and Big 10 Offensive Player of the Year. He accomplished all this despite moving to Oregon, one of the rainiest states in the US, and playing in an outdoor stadium with artificial coating.
