Re: Report: Redskins to unveil drawings of new stadium, location tbd

Idk, I think there's a lot of factors that go into having a retractable roof. Cost being the obvious one, plus the weather. Plus if you go retractable it could affect your field choice, and maybe they want to keep using grass instead of Fieldturf. So if you go grass do you do a retractable field too? If you want a retractable field then you need more land. Do we play enough games in bad weather to warrant a roof? I don't think so. As for this design, maybe they went open roof as a homage to RFK, I can see a passing resemblance in the design. Maybe that was one of DS's requirements, I remember it being mentioned when the topic first came up. Either way with or without a roof I will be happy. Besides, i think having a roof as a requirement for the SB is a little outdated since the Giants stadium went well.
