"The documents mentioned a shutdown period of about eight months would be needed to install the roof following the Olympics; it actually took double that time, from the May 2010 deflation of the original Teflon-coated fibreglass covering until the reopening of the stadium under a German-engineered retractable setup for the Lions' game against the Edmonton Eskimos on the last Friday of September 2011."

" Today, BC Place’s roof is, at over four hectares, the largest cable-supported, fully retractable, fabric roof in the world. The design allows the roof to retract into the center node of the roof opening, hidden above a suspended, four-sided electronic video board."

It cost anywhere from $514 -563 million for a still fabric roof along with the other bells&whistles..

I have worked on bigger jobs than this and the footprint around the Dome will not allow for March to September to be completed. Common sense here.

Someone made mention that they could play most the football games on the road in the beginning and the real consultants laughed that one off as an option.
