He's already clearly not well. I've got to think it wouldn't take much for him to catch pneumonia or something similar.

Add in the fact that they know the crowd wasn't going to be very large (Hotels are booked waaayyyy below capacity unlike normal inaugurations where they are close to 100%) so having it inside will be less embarrassing in terms of having a really small crowd.
