[Gh0stRider]

New retractable roof

Err, this has been in the news over the past while... They're removing the existing roof and replacing it with a retractable roof.

[Kim Jong Un]

so bye bye to the big puffy pillow? :(

He's not from here, so he might not have heard the news.

[LiquidTurbo]

The Vancouver skyline will never look the same!

[tiger_handheld]

why does it dance at .08ish ? seemed like someone was pumping air in while it was trying to deflate..

also the process to 30 mins irl.

[Kim Jong Un]

probably because of the wind

[Gh0stRider]

they shoulda sold tickets to ride the deflation

[orange7]

I kinda feel a little sad now.

[LiquidTurbo]

"After the old roof is taken away, installation will begin on a new retractable roof. It is being called the largest cable-supported retractable roof in the world, which should be complete sometime next year."

Found a pic of the new design.. definitely will make Vancouver look more interesting!

it looks ugly and doesn't go with the flow of the background

IMO

[JSALES]

this will sooner or later be part of the Vancouver History thread

[m4k4v4li]

no homo, but it looks ugly and doesn't go with the flow of the background

thats not how u use the phrase no homo, fgt

[The_AK]

what are they going to do with the old roof?

[LiquidTurbo]

what are they going to do with the old roof?

From news:
Crews will now begin stripping away the old roof material. It is being recycled by a Milwaukee company, which will use it for things like movie screens, purses, and even portable skating rink beds.

[LiquidTurbo]

thats not how u use the phrase no homo, fgt

LOL. I was rather confused when he said no homo.

[slammer111]

Easiest way to deflate - shoot a bunch of holes in the roof. :lol

Looks cool though. The finished dome reminds me of the O2 in London.

[StylinRed]

why are they deflating the roof?

for this

If they decided to make a ferris wheel thingy ride on the top of the new roof or even have crazy rave lights on at night, I jerk off to it everyday..

[Hondaracer]

gonna be great once it's done

[BLUETIGER]

wut..

[J____]

Lol they just deflated however many tens of millions of dollars spent to fix the torn roof. imagine if you were in the middle of the roof when it was deflated. that woulda been awesome

[SpartanAir]

I imagine if it was raining when they deflated it would have been disastrous...water would have collected quickly and eventually torn at the bottom to drop a swimming pool's worth on the field...

[TOS'd]

Damn, new roof by 2011. New entertainment complex by 2013.

imo, the new roof design looks nice. but with the addition of the new complex to be attached, it looks ugly. since its not just an oval stadium anymore, plus the two towers that stick up just as tall as the cable suspensions.

[StealthFighter]

wait, so only the field part is going to be open to the elements while the people are still covered by the roof?

i thought they were going to go for a safeco field kind of roof.

[shawn79]

wut..

orange7 relates everything as homosexual, there was one thread where someone asked how to fix a dug up hole, he answered it with "jerk off in it"

[shawn79]

Are they get new seats on the stand as well? The shit stains on the blue plastic seats has been there since the 80's

[TOS'd]

i thought they were going to go for a safeco field kind of roof.

video shows the whole thing being covered, but by 2 sections. 1 being the outer edge you see in almost all the pictures. and 2 being the centre circle above the jumbotron.

[josh t-1]
