They can't.  The existing columns can't hold a fixed roof, let alone a fixed roof and the existing fabric and steel roof.

If you believe the stated requirement that the home Football and basketball sehedules cannot be affected by the renovation, they are going to have to build a fixed roof over the existing domed roof.  That means a whole other set of columns to support the new roof.  They have to be outside the existing columns.  Phase one could just include the new exterior columns and the new fixed roof, leaving the existing exterior walls intact.  Phase 2 could involve removing the old exterior walls and building new ones and presumably extending concourses to the new exterior walls.

One thing that has been consistent from the start has been the requirement to not lose a season for football or basketball.  So maybe that is how things will play out...
