Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 882454">I believe the University of Phoenix Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, was the first to have a field surface that can be rolled outdoors.  I'm not crazy about what they did with the video screens in LA if I understand that system correctly.  You're looking at 20 or 30 iterations of the replay on a bunch of smaller screens strung together in an oval under the roof.  Better to have a set of larger screens I would think.There was a two hour special on the construction of the LA stadium with an all-in cost of $4 - $5 billion which I presume includes the road upgrades.  The whole thing is nuts.  The FAA wouldn't approve the orginal design because it interfered with flight paths at the the airport next door.  So they dug down 100 feet for the base of the bowl.  The earthquake mititgation in the design is very elaborate and no doubt very expensive.I often say living in Buffalo (or Green Bay for that matter) has certain benefits--no hurricanes, no earthquakes except the little ones, no raging wildfires, no water shortages.  I tell people wait long enough and Western New York can be renamed New Tennessee without the hillbillys.  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
