Dome roof scheduled to come down tomorrow...

[cto]

Message received tonight from the school:

Tomorrow, the University will achieve a significant milestone regarding the Dome roof replacement project. Weather permitting, the roof will be deflated tomorrow morning (Monday, March 16) beginning roughly at around 7 a.m. The whole process will take about 45 minutes from start to finish and the visible activity will happen gradually at the beginning and accelerate as time goes on.



In alignment with our coronavirus response, we will be limiting access to the building. However, the University will shoot video and capture photos to share with the media, post on our digital channels and amplify across our social media channels.

I loved the old roof. It had to be changed out but I will miss it. I hope the new roof that we know so little about, ends up looking good.

40 years of air support protection. It out lasted all it’s peers. Birdair should be very proud.

I grew up in Syracuse but live in Rochester now. My wife and I have had season tickets for bball for the last seven years. Every time we drive from Rochester to Syracuse when we get to that opening in the trees on the thruway at Onondaga Lake Park I always look at the dome roof and give it a little salute in my mind. It’ll be weird to see a different view after all these years!

My friend has a wallet made from the old RCA Dome roof here in Indianapolis. Cool conversation piece, would love if they got creative with some pieces of the roof for items like this.

Just like the Colts ... it folds up in January.

I was hoping the University would try and do something creative with it, repurpose some of it.

We're Syracuse, they're making it into high fashion T-Shirts.

They should make National Champions 2020 flags out of it. Cut down the nets? Naw, we cut down the roof!

Hopefully there will be a replay of it as that is 4am here...

Around that same time, in 1977, the Montreal Expos started construction on their retractable roof.
After an estimated cost of nearly a billion dollars over the next 20 years (at the time), the roof never functioned as it was supposed to.

End of an era.

I'm not sure if the roof is being deconstructed, or if it's ripping under its own weight, but here's what it looks like right now.

I’m so excited to see the end result! The dome will be beautiful once again! And the first day it reopens I will be there

Is it supposed to look like that or is that an indication that something went wrong?

Confirmed breaking news:
The dome roof has entered the transfer portal.

Surprised you didn’t go with Tom Brady was at the last game and is known to be a deflator joke.
