Domes don't have much viability for the CFL and year-round uses for these facilities (conventions, concerts, etc.) are few and far between.

Not to mention that the costs to heat and cool these facilities in our climate would probably border on the ridiculous.
For what it's worth, they're leaning towards "retractable" style of roof. And yes, the possibilities of geothermal cooling/heating have also been discussed. If this is the case, this could be unprecedented to anything we have seen before in North America.
