Outdoors in New England vs. Inside

It is almost as if scheduling this game to be played outdoors in New England in early April, when it very easily could have been played in a dome, did not make any sense. What is the point of having teams play their home games in domes if it isn't utilizyed at this time of the year. I understand there are not enough dome teams and warm weather teams - but it seems like every year we go through this with opening day games in Boston, New York, Cleveland, etc.
