Go to Google - type in "renderings of the new Dome at Syracuse University." A video will be available to you: click on the first one entitled - skyline, jumbotron highlight big changes to Carrier Dome.

At the beginning pause it just after the start and you will see a gray rendering of the completed project. The reason for the roller coaster is for support. If you look at the LC you will see at the east and west ends the crown truss is the highest. Basically adding required height for the roof. As opposed to the air supported roof which gave the dome its height cables will run through the new fabric strung end to end to get the height as you can see in the rendering.

The columns, box girders that comprise the Crown Truss and fabric will be all white and its appearance should be as nice or better than the previous roof. Add exterior lighting of orange going from the base of the columns to the top and the girders and maybe a name or an actual moving "S" if you will, something that act as a moving part running the length of the girder and there you have it. I think it's going to look great at a night BB game. Truly the one of a kind university domed stadium in the world of sports and a very unique part of SU.
