Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 1791660, member: 27"] I agree. It all depends on the design of the roof. The new facility the Vikings are building does not have an arched ceiling. It is not a dome and accordingly, is being called US Bank Stadium. Here is the definition of the word dome we are discussing: noun 1. Architecture. [LIST=1] [*]a vault, having a circular plan and usually in the form of a portion of a sphere, so constructed as to exert an equal thrust in all directions. [*]a [URL='http://www.dictionary.com/browse/domical']domical[/URL] roof or ceiling. [*]a polygonal vault, ceiling, or roof. [/LIST] It remains to be seen what the roof of the SU athletic facility will look like. If the saw tooth design leaked by the sub-contractor is used , it really isn't a dome. It is an arched roof. The arch runs only north and south. I say there is no way the new facility will be called a dome, because it won't be one. At least if the leaked design holds true... [/QUOTE]
