That is correct...and I *think* they have to declare open or closed 90 minutes before game time. They had Lucas Oil Stadium roof closed today because it was too hot...in OCTOBER.

University of Phoenix Stadium
Retractable Roof Movement
The position of the roof at University of Phoenix Stadium will be determined on game day. Many factors will be included in the final decision, however the comfort of all fans in attendance is our main concern. Research conducted by other organizations determined that it can feel up to 15 degrees warmer than the air temperature when seated in direct sunlight. With no breeze and direct sunlight, this creates a very uncomfortable environment for those ticket holders on the east side of the stadium.
Fans can call the Cardinals Roof Hotline at 623-433-7663 on their way to the stadium to find out if the roof will be open or closed.
The Cardinals are required to follow all NFL policies in effect for retractable roof stadiums. In accordance with NFL policy, the following guidelines must be followed:
* The roof can only be closed during the game if rain or other hazardous weather conditions develop or are anticipated. The only exception is that the roof will not be closed for rain in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter, or prior to or during any overtime period.
* If the roof is closed at the start of the game or during the game, it cannot be opened for the remainder of the game.
* If the decision is made to open the roof, the roof must be open no later than the time that the teams take the field for pre-game warm-ups.

Texans have a 50-80 rule... the roof is closed unless the temperature is within that range. Rain or other such issues can also affect their decision of course.
