I'm also unconvinced something like that would increase the fan experience. A trailer roof of this material also isn't very strong, no way would they use this on a building hundreds of feet high. To make it strong enough for that use would mean it gets very thick, heavy and less translucent.

The technology is definitely there for translucent ETFE roofing (see post below) Also, I think you meant Astrodome.
