they should build a roof over the roof so in case it rains they're able to close it :troll: |

Someone post double facepalm :facepalm: Posted via RS Mobile |
you would think this is something they could remedy before everything gets put in place shouldnt someone be held accountable -_- |
HAHA This reminds me like the problem that San Francisco was facing a while back, where people could easily bypass the ticket gates with just a simple wave of the hand. oh well, the spectators can be covered in the rain, lets just make the players wet just because they're used to practicing in the rain...... psh. |

Epic ... failure. Add BC Stadium Roof to: Fastcat, Olympic Village, Vancouver Convention Center. |
whoever sold them the roof musta' been a damn good salesman. |

"Stadium officials say they chose to install a retractable roof because of the original design of the building, saying its design would not support a metal retractable roof..." What? |
Either make one that closes or have no roof at all, wat the fuck are we gonna do with a "close only under perfect circumstances" roof |

and to be clear, the roof DOES close. just not when they have it open and THEN it starts to rain. or if the wind picks up suddenly. ie: they have to be watching the weather closely all the time when the roof is open and close it in advance of any rain/wind. |

It seems like the media is making it out to be a lot worst than it really is. You would think that they would check the weather forecasts and close/open the roof accordingly. It's not like they would leave the roof open when it's expected to rain later. It would be a problem when there's some sudden, freak rain storm and the roof is open. Also IIRC, the roof would only be open during MLS or CFL games and the fans will be covered regardless. |
wow such fail |

Basically if a freak rainstorm just happens to down pour, it will just make the players wet. They just have to make sure and look at the weather conditions before they retract or open the roof. It really is a non-issue. Quote:

Why is this a big deal? The cost to do a roof everyone wants will probably double the price of construction. So it can only stay open during the summer, at least it can open. And if it rains the only people that get wet are the players, the seats always remain covered. I don't see the big deal, chances are it will only stay open during the summer. BC Place desperately needed a reno, I'm not going to complain. I was disappointed at first, but got over it pretty quick. |

It isn't that big of a deal... they just have to close it well in advance if the weather report calls for heavy rain for sports events, or if the weather report calls for any rain for other events like the auto show... |
The media is making a big deal about it because they're trying to politicize the project. But, I do feel sorry for the people who live in buildings near the stadium. Their views of the southwest have been severely reduced as a result of the support beams. |
