People will laugh, I bet we see some sort of artificial shade solution in the not so distant future (15-20 years).
I can't imagine how much of a huge increase in attendance there will be just by affecting the temp by 10-15 degrees.

"I am not laughing. We asked about something similar being used in Japan."
This is AWESOME!!! The question is... Where do you store it when you don't need it?

You partner it with the Jaguars or Bucs and rent it out for all kinds of events the rest of the year.
We looked into an inflatable that has been used in Japan. It is not so far fetched.
Not sure how comfortable people would feel with a dirigible hanging over their head.
Years ago someone posted his mock up of Doak with a retractable roof. Would love to see it again as it received many good laughs... Anyone remember who the poster was?

We have real mock ups of everything imaginable from whole roofs to partials, split level, bowl, added suites. The stadium is no different than campus, we have a plan for everything with pictures
Couldn't you design it with fabric like the Champions Club awning? It'd seem like that would be cheaper, lighter weight, and easier to both store and transport.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think people would love that. I wish Boosters would release some of these renderings they're referring to to the fans. Get our feedback and input on some things, but mostly because it'd just be cool to see what they're considering.
I agree. I love to hear anything they are thinking about. But this was a small nugget of that type of info.
DeleteYes. I was referring to the future possible renovations to Doak, not just this flying shade thing.
