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.
