Your comment suggests you have a better understanding of construction projects than most (Some have none.)

What you are saying here --- reading between the lines --- that this is lots of basic stuff and not a huge upgrade of the "fan experience". No matter how you "perfume this pig" the Dome will still be the Dome.

The rigid roof won't do any better job of keeping the rain out than the fabric one does. It will, however, allow them to reduce the air pressure in the building and that will help with comfort. And you won't be blown out the doors while exiting.

A/C affects a few early home games.

Lighting upgrades are pretty much about reducing operating costs and not increasing light levels, right?

Ramps and elevators and widened aisles for handicap access won't affect the fan experience of the great majority.

Massive over-runs on a project like this are a distinct possibility. When the spec changes from that which was bid upon, things get very expensive. Some contractors and manufacturers can look at the drawings and spec and sense that this building cannot be built as designed. So they can submit low (Even money-losing) bids confident in the fact that they'll get rich on Change Orders".

How long is this thing going to be in the Design Phase?
