The new roof is, as you can see, not homogeneous.  There are two distinct sections.

The part around the perimeter, that is not translucent, will be hard.  I am not sure what it will be made of but I think it will have a steel undercarriage.

The interior portion of the roof will be made of PTFE.  They can make it as translucent as desired and for our project, I think it is supposed to be somewhere around 36% translucent.  The original plan was to use ETFE nd make the interior part of the roof completely translucent.  That got scrapped.  Since the PTFE is only supposed to be slightly more translucent than the old roof (I think the old was somewhere in the neighborhood of 33% translucent), I question whether it will be so see through you can clearly see the stands and rest of the interior of the stadium from the outside.  Maybe this drawing is a vestige of the earlier plans.

I just find it hard to believe a difference of 3% in translucence would make a roof that you could never see through (you couldn't even see an outline of the sun from inside the dome on a sunny day) so see through that you can clearly see details from one side to the other.
