As the debate continues over whether or not the Atlanta sports jerseys Falcons need a new stadium, a new side argument has popped up down in Georgia: Namely, is it worth the extra cost to make sure the new place has one of those fancy retractable roofs like the Houston Texas, Indianapolis Colts, Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys do?
The current plan on the new nike nfl jerseys table is a $1 billion project that could be financed with about $200 million worth of public bonds. It only includes an option for a retractable roof and estimates peg that roof's cost at around $185 million. A fixed roof has not been included in these discussions, but it would no doubt be cheaper without all the cost of machinery.
Falcons ownership seems set on a retractable roof stadium — dallas cowboys jerseys remember the Fulton County Stadium days? — but the odds say they'll be keeping it closed more often than not. A study by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution found that 149 of the 225 NFL games that have been played in the league's four retractable roof stadiums have been conducted with the roof closed. That's 66 percent of all contests.
