SoCal Deek Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 2 minutes ago, Einstein said: I'm not sure why you're being hostile. I was trying to learn from you. But ok then... I’m not being hostile. I’m trying to explain that just like a rain gauge collects rain the snow is going to fall on the roof, the seats, and the field in the exact proportions and percentages that each of those surfaces face the sky. None will be more and none will be less. So if the roof covers NONE of the stadium then everything will get snowed on. If the roof covers ALL of the stadium, then all of the stadium will be dry. And…if the roof covers FIFTY percent of the surface then fifty percent on the snow will be inside the ‘donut’. Make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerDave Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 My question is, will they have actual restrooms in the parking lots for tailgaters and people walking in from elsewhere, or will they still have the stupid porta-johns which are cold, lack sanitizer most of the time, run out of TP, and blow over in strong winds?

This part is what i'm curious about. Is it not not possible for the rain/snow to be driven by wind shear and escape the donut? At an angle. Like this I mean: Meaning, it would hit upper deck, lower deck, etc. Due to wind driving it at an angle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is….but the OPPOSITE side is getting the exact same percentage blocked by the roof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ga boy Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 What about the wind confusion screens? I imagine the snow would stick to them, but maybe they’ll be heated. Asking for a friend 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking for a friend 😂 If you want my honest opinion the entire wind confusion thing sounds like utter nonsense. I guess it could be that the exterior skin could be used to break up wind a little bit, but that surface would neither increase or decrease snow.

I’ve been to around 10 different stadiums around the league and not one had actual bathrooms outside of the stadium, but on stadium property. Porta-Johns, this is the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope it would reduce the winds from blowing in snow. We may be pleasantly surprised, but, like you, I am skeptical 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike baseball, not all football stadiums face the same direction. (Most people don’t know that virtually all baseball fields face northeast.)

Look forward to following the progress(even though I am local and only 15 min drive away from checking it out). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3LvIYNfq94&pp=ygUcYnVmZmFsbyBzdGFkaXVtIGNvbnN0cnVjdGlvbg%3D%3D Thank you!
