The Carrier Dome (or whatever they call it now) is one of those weird things where the roof is a flexible fabric of sorts and it's help up with internal air pressure; if you open all the doors the roof will deflate. Maybe that has something to do with it? Is that how Detroit is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtVandalay Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 So... we are in the process of designing a new stadium... we chose not to have a dome or retractable roof. Now we have a storm and are talking about moving a game, again? This is a really bad look. Honestly with how bad the weather and snowfall can get to make the stadium unplayable leading up to a game it's inexcusable we aren't designing a retractable roof to protect the playing surface and stadium. We should have that roof closed then open prior to gametime unless weather is so severe we need it closed for the game. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium definitely lends itself to the mausoleum feel, but I think Toronto sports fans have a lot to do with it. The SkyDome is rocking during the MLB playoffs, but Toronto fans are typically indifferent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s no longer air supported. I think the old air supported roof was one of the last of its kind. The old Minneapolis dome used to have the same setup if I’m not mistaken.

The team pays fans $10/hr or whatever to help shovel out to make the games happen in this lol You protect the playing surface and stadium with a retractable roof you can plow the lots easily.

That’s the main issue, dome or not. Drive a few miles north, and it’s likely travel won’t be impossible, even if there is a decent amount of snow. I remember visiting family in North Buffalo while the Weather Channel discussed how travel in “Buffalo” was a no go. With that said, they are saying this storm might hit the entire area quite hard.

Current weather reports have no snow on Sunday, it's the fact the stadium will be unplayable. Current weather reports have 1-3 inches on Saturday and nothing on Sunday. The heavy stuff his Thursday according to Weather.Com right now. It's about clearing and removing snow in time, which a retractable roof does wonders for. With all the money the team makes its honestly embarrassing they got to pay fans $15/hr to shovel in order to get the stadium ready to play. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
