I also failed to read where is says the roof alone cost $560 million dollars.  Doesn't that article right in the headline state "ALL THE TRIMMINS".
 
It has an additional upper retractable roof that masks the upper bowl when soccer is played there along with all of the below including a complete new façade and a ridiculous lighting package inside and out for the Olympic ceremonies.  Completely new doors included.
 
[I]The $560-million in renovations include a retractable roof which can be opened or closed in 20 minutes. There also is a [B]huge centre-hung video board with two HD screens that are the equivalent to 450, 42-inch flat-screen TVs.[/B]
Throughout the building there are[B] 800 Wi-Fi points and 1,150 digital screens[/B]. There are [B]new, wider seats; improved acoustics; modern turf; and enhanced concession and bathroom facilities.[/B]
Gone is the huge air-supported roof that looked like a dirty marshmallow on the Vancouver skyline. It has been replaced by 36 roof support masts that look like a crown.
The [B]drab concrete building now sparkles with clear glazing[/B]. [B]Antiquated revolving doors have given way to grand entrances.[/B] The once cold, dark interior is now flooded with natural light.[/I]
