Maybe the cost of a roof on a design like this is a big difference, and rather than start from scratch they just want to go ahead with it.

Sure concerts and other indoor events can still be played outdoors, just not Nov-April. I agree that roof/no roof isn't a deal-breaker but with space at a premium its foolish to not build a year-round all weather venue.
