Well, the wording I read was the new roof will be 5 to 10 feet higher on average.

It will surely start off at the same or nearly the same height.  The old roof ballooned out due to air pressure almost immediately, where with this roof, I think it will be a more gradual incline at the perimeter and not nearly as level towards the top.  I think the old roof was essentially flat maybe 50 or 60 feet from the center out.

So there will be minimal height difference along the perimeter and much more significant difference towards the center of the roof.  Hoping the center of the roof, where the scoreboard will be attached, ends up around or 35 or 40 feet higher.

Pretty sure the center hung scoreboard is going to be a lot longer and wider than it is high.  They are probably going to use the 16:9 ratio used for HDTV screens.  I think that is standard for stadiums.  Might even use a wider ratio for it.  Yankee Stadium and the Jerryworld certainly do.

I doubt the new center hung will be more than 45 feet tall.  I expect it will intrude a little more than the speakers did but doubt it will come into play very often.
