How about a retractable roof so they can host everything?

how about they just use the facilities they have?

I am not attacking you- it just pisses me off that politicians and urban planners do not have the foresight to build stadiums and arenas that are multi-functional.

So ATL wants to be considered for a World Cup bid. Great. So that is one event every 20 years. You host the 6 group matches and then maybe 1-2 playoff (knock-out) matches. Is that enough to build a new stadium?
Concerts? No. We have Phillips Arena, the dome and several other 5K seating venues.

Hey, the Georgia Dome is already a circus tent. They could just remove those bed sheets off the top.

Ya know, most of the domes built after the Super Dome are gone now. I just can't help but think that they got it right and built the Super Dome to last and the others were junk, only designed to last a decade or so. And when the time comes to replace it, I do hope they build something designed to last with maybe a retractable roof. Oh and its gotta be adjacent to the FQ. Theres nothing quite like walking up Poydras to the game with the crowd all in Black and Gold. That can't be lost.

Poydras probably would disagree...
