EspañolRETRACTABLE ROOF
A 'retractable roof' is a kinetic architectural element used in many sports venues. They are used in places that allow for indoor sports when the weather is rainy. Examples of these venues are Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada, SAFECO Field in Seattle and The University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ. Future stadiums include Lucas Oil Stadium and a new stadium for the Dallas Cowboys and the Millenium Stadium in Wales.
Miller Park has a fan style roof because it is shaped like a fan. Lucas Oil Stadium will be a tent style roof stadium. Toyota Stadium in Japan has a unique accordion like roof. These a just a few of the many type of roofs used to build these stadiums.
One of the first planned retractable roof stadiums was Olympic Stadium in Montreal. It, however, was plagued by construction delays, and the roof itself was not completed until 1988. After that time, it never functioned well, and was remodeled.
