stadium turns into giant bathtub after steady rains

S.U. with no field drainage better cover their butts on this...

Even though this is in China the said the goal post are completely covered with water...

Egg Drop Soup Bowl?

Seems to me that SU has a huge drain in the SW corner, aka the big roll-up door.

China just doing what the Romans did with the Colosseum, fill it for staged water battles! Still don't understand how the Romans pulled that off though

I don't even know how you can manage to do that.

I'm thinking the new roof will be waterproof.

Good thing our stadium is built on "The Hill"


Also, its not as if the water in that stadium is deep. You can actually see the turf peeking through the water. A few inches deep...at most.

Do you honestly think it can be replaced on any "one" sunny afternoon?

The article stated that the goal posts were covered......not me. But when were they covered?

I don't know that it needs to be. We have not seen the plan on how they plan to replace the roof without causing any dents in the schedules or damage to the facility due to weather. You are assuming some things. In any case, SU knows full well the potential pitfalls of leaving the field exposed/uncovered. They know the dome better than any of us and unlike us, they are formulating the plans to replace the roof safely and without damage.

It's ok, the stadium will be full, but then it will be empty in an hour.

Goalposts for what sport? If it's soccer posts, we're talking 8 feet but even that seems unrealistic from the picture posted.

good way to reduce capacity of the dome

Timing of the photo.....Doesn't look like it's raining at all in the photo at that time.

So, you're saying you've laid some pipe in your day.
