oh yeah, and what would you use it for all year?...step back and think about it for a second.
there is no need for a dome...it will never happen...the added $100m capital cost is just the begining...you have to heat and cool a giant building for 365 days a year with very few revenue generating dates to support it.
i worked on the dome business plan for winnipeg....it makes no sense here and even less sense there....there are very few stadium concert tours anymore...one every couple of years at most, and they are all in the summer...there are no stadium tours in canada in the winter, so a dome is not necessasry.....that plus 10 football games a year does not provide the financial support for a dome.
you guys will go through it and realize that a dome makes no sense....nobody builds domes anymore....the 1980's are over....most cities are now tearing down their domes.
