Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 25765, member: 716"] I know that the original roof lasted 19 years (until 1999) and that the new one is only 12 years old. Since the new one is a better roof and it's never been lowered (which takes years off the life of the roof), it'll be good for at least another decade unless something catastrophic happens. Even a fixed Georgia Dome-style roof can't cost too much more than $50 million. A retractable roof - if it's even structurally possible - would be two or three times that. Like Cusefan said, it would be very surprising to see SU playing anywhere other than the Dome. It's a good facility, and renovating it into a great facility would be cheaper than building a new stadium by at least a factor of five. [/QUOTE]
