Yes, it will. But as I always told ‘my’ contractors: “Floor goes on the bottom and roof on the top.”
 

Look like so far they’ve got it right.

Tians stadium looks like it will be a big mall. I like the intimacy of our new barn.

Anyone else see the snow pictures the bills text blasted out today? I wish this site would let me post pictures. 60% of the seats covered and protected is a damn sham. Snow covered seats even in the top row. Only part of the stadium not covered is the field. Snow melt is working.

 

We won't know for sure until the heated concourses are installed.

I still feel its too small. Should have been 65,000.

It's an open air stadium.

This is the first time I've seen this angle.  From this image, it looks like none of the lower bowl seats are covered and even parts of the upper deck isn't covered.  Something isn't right here, because they said 60% of seats would be covered.  Not according to this photo.

You know the covers on toilet seats in public washrooms?  That's what they meant by 'covered'.  The covers are handed out as you enter the stadium.

Maybe I'm wrong but it looks like less than 60% of seats are covered. Almost feels like the OP got I backwards and only 40% are.

According to the Stadium PR, it's actually 64%, but yeah, that certainly looks farm from the claim that basically 2/3s of the seats are covered.  Heck, by the looks of that, if Orchard Park gets a couple foot dumping, they're going to still be paying the public $20 bucks an hours to dig it out.

I cannot wait for the first time a game gets shoveled over to Detroit because of snow. The meltdown here will be bigger than on the stadium roof.

Can't be.  Cranes in the way. 🙁

$15 an hour.  They're a bit short after cost overruns. 🙁
