Message: [QUOTE="Millhouse, post: 1044880, member: 78"] i hope none of the smart guys in this thread think that I am arguing for an air supported roof on a new stadium if they end up building it. anyone who actually reads the thread will see that i'm asking about difference in risk between air supported and fixed. i wasn't arguing that there was no risk. i was arguing that people who want a new dome for other reasons might overstate that risk just because other cities have built giant retractable palaces doesn't mean that the roof is to blame. NFL teams replace open air stadiums all the time too. if we end up saving hundreds of millions by keeping the dome, surely some of that money can be spent on maintaining the new roof better than the nearly abandoned silverdome did and of course that cost should be taken into consideration.
