B.C. Place Stadium did get built in Vancouver and opened in 1983. The B.C. Lions play there, and the venue hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics. After that Olympics, a retractable roof was placed on the building replacing the Metrodome style pillow roof in a renovation.
The issue with domed stadiums in baseball is ensuring players can see pop-up and fly balls - this was an issue with the Astrodome - while still making the interior seem welcoming.
If I remember correctly, there was an offer by the city to build a stadium in Queens, basically what would become Shea Stadium, that would be shared by the Dodgers and Giants. Of course that was unacceptable to both teams and off to California they went.
Moses was a no good SOB who did incalculable damage to the city of New York! How did that POS overrule Governor Rockefeller and Mayor Wagner? Walter O’Malley had hoped to keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn!
I’m hopeful that the Rays new stadium has a translucent roof and windows letting in as much natural light as possible while keeping the temperature around 73 degrees.
The Dallas Dome was to be in Arlington, right where the current stadium complex (Globe Life Field, Choctaw Stadium, AT&T Stadium) now stands. Built in place of the dome was Turnpike Stadium, a minor-league facility (Dallas-Fort Worth Spurs) which eventually was expanded into Arlington Stadium to bring in the Washington Senators as they became the Texas Rangers.
@@XBarajasX AT&T Stadium (aka Jerry World) is Texas Stadium on steroids, with the retractable roof that was to have been on Texas Stadium but couldn't make it. There was a proposal to put a dome on the Cotton Bowl which resembled American Airlines Center.
There's a really funny video from 1985 about Candlestick and all the weather problems. Included is a joke proposal for a retractable dome over the Stick. Great stuff!
Just like most things..This was a hot new trend at that time. Just like the fixed translucent ETFE roofs now for natural light and the use Artificial Grass..trends come and go.
I went to a lot of baseball games in the Kingdome when I was young. Everyone celebrated when that building was imploded. A retractable roof if definitely the way to go.
M's fans had a love/hate relationship with the Kingdome. It was a piece of crap, but it was OUR piece of crap. On the other hand, I was super excited when Safeco Field/T-Mobile Park opened.
I never heard of The Vet being considered as a domed stadium in it's early planning but I do recall that in the mid-80's the Eagles put a bid in to host a Super Bowl(1987 that was eventually awarded to San Diego) and one of the concepts to do so would be to enclose the Vet. Obviously it didn't happen. Eventually the Vet gave way to the Linc, Citizens Bank Park, and the Spectrum gave way to the Corestates Center(now known as the Wells Fargo Center).
Fixed dome stadiums can't go away completely. Any new stadium in Tampa will almost certainly require a fixed dome, because the additional expense to build and maintain a retractable roof for the very limited time it would be open just can't justify it. And a totally outdoor stadium in Tampa would be a scheduling disaster in the summer rainy season. I bet if you look hard at Miami's new stadium, you would agree building the retractable roof was a mistake, for that reason. I agree with you about the value of natural lighting, which will drive future designers to translucent designs. But future stadiums in certain climates will most likely forever remain fixed, not retractable.
I wondered how the dodgers was going to built a dome in the late 50s and do about the grass, a glass dome would not work and astro turf and anything like that was not invented until the mid 60s
Yes and actually BC Place when it had the old roof was more a carbon copy of the RCA Dome in Indy than the Metrodome. AND it was the largest pressurized dome too i believe because the CFL Field is larger than NFL so it was bigger than the silverdome even tho it had less seats
I don't know about all retractable roof stadiums in the MLB but I know that T-mobile park in Seattle is only closed 22% of the time or about 17.8 times a year.
Honestly don’t wanna say the trop is the last one! I’ve been going to the skydome ever since I was a kid because it’s my home team and I’d say that’s a dome too just has a retractable roof!
Actually the dome was the FIRST ditch effort. O'Malley (contrary to popular belief) wanted very much to keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn (and made very plain they were not the "Queens Dodgers"...that proposal would later become Shea Stadium) but in the end didn't have any other real choice. Ebbets Field maybe among the most beloved parks in terms of history but when it was actually active...not nearly so much. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think there was any serious effort to save Ebbets Field or the Polo Grounds from being replaced.
I think that back in the day it was considered a dome because retractables were not a thing yet. I think anything that was enclosed was considered to be a dome.

True, but that new retractable roof is ugly!!
It will don't go over 300ft

I remember that players had major problems with that in the Metrodome as well. The ceiling was the exact same color as the baseball.
Montreal solved that problem by having a blue roof.
The Dome stadium in Brooklyn was killed by Robert Moses, destroying New York state’s cities 1938-1975!
If I remember correctly, there was an offer by the city to build a stadium in Queens, basically what would become Shea Stadium, that would be shared by the Dodgers and Giants. Of course that was unacceptable to both teams and off to California they went.

Vancouver built their dome (the 30 year old BC Place) they just didn't get a MLB team
1983. You are only 10 years off. Typical Canadian math

The Texas Stadium was this Dallas Dome but with the hole in the roof

Arlington Stadium was the best. Spent a lot time there watching the Rangers as child.
There was talk of a dome in Cleveland in the early 80s as well

The Detroit Tigers had a dome planned and announced in 1972, but the Michigan Supreme Court nixed the plan. It was even the Tigers 1972 yearbook!

Dodging falling concrete roof tiles is all part of the fan experience!
The Seahawks stadium doesn't even have a retractable roof.
@@dvferyance it doesnt really need one
@@principalmcvicker6530 Then why do the Mariners need one?

Riverfront in Cincinnati at one time was talks of getting a dome. I have seen pictures.
6:06 Isn't that just BC Place, built in 1983 and home of the BC Lions? It now has a retractable roof.

is the skydome not considered a dome? ik it’s retractable but still

I've been to a couple of domed stadiums. Never felt like a ball game there.
You left out 1 MLB domed stadium. Olympic stadium in Montreal. Built in 76 but didn't add the Kevlar roof untill 1987.
I would probably like it if a fair share of those dome stadiums were actually built.
BC Place stadium's roof looks very similar to the Metrodome
BC Place was more similar to the RCA Dome in Indianapolis. The interior is virtually identical
The Astrodome was VERY VERY multipurpose.
At this time Las Vegas is dead
Love the new dome in Arlington.
it has really nice features but overall it looks so disjointed
2:30 Skydome = Multipurpose Dome yet you never mention it
They also didn't mention Olympic Stadium an open air stadium for 10 years before adding the Kevlar roof.
Skydome was known as just "Skydome", not The Skydome. No use of the word "the" before Skydome.
Ellis Don was the contractor who built it.
Hello There
this guy sound like the guy making fun of the coffee barista
You can bet on the New Las Vegas MLB Stadium will be domed!
The Baltodome proposal was a failure. As a result Mayflower came into the picture.
The Baltodome didn't pass the state legislature then Hyman Pressman happened
there is ONLY one what the hell is rogers centre you really know baseball
Retractable roof. He’s only talking about fixed roofs.
ontario canada is a city
ontario is a province, not a city
Say multi purpose dome stadium again
don't you think we have too many stadiums?
wtf
