Thought I read/heard where the retractable roof would have added another $300 million. But don't ask for a link.

I’m all down for a fixed dome for Florida. On average the Marlins have the roof open for 11-12 games out of 81, waste of money.

Exactly. I would of love to see how that transparent roof would of looked like with the stadium in Ybor.

Spoke with someone today who is definitely in the know with respect to OCS renderings (can't tell you who). But that person confirmed that the OCS is still in "intense design phase" and that renderings won't be published until that phase is complete. There is no timetable (the focus is on getting it right, not getting it done quickly), and a release of renderings is not imminent. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but thought I should pass that nugget of info along...

I wonder what they are doing about the heat which is only going to increase.  Perhaps something like Miami did to Hard Rock? Climate change is real. I have a cousin who lives on Sarasota Bay who told me he has 3-5 years or less before his house will be unlivable due to rising sea levels, increasing 7" a decade.

For the love of god move this **** to the Mad Cow, more people, more concrete jungles, more heat.  Water levels are not rising, maybe the areas are sinking from the weight of construction instead, either way give it a rest, jeez.

HMMM should I pull up the hundreds of articles from the past that said by now half of Florida would be under water by now

Oops. This is the OCS thread. I'll take that back.

Problem is that if we are building a stadium that we might be expanding in future, a fixed dome roof wouldn’t work. I’m fine with starting with an overhanging roof over the sideline seatings
