Structurally, the roof will slide off and on the stadium in sections. This will cover the fans during games as one would expect, but will also float outside the stadium to protect shoppers and visitors during non-game days.
Visually, the skin of the building will use light up panels to provide Exposition Park visitors with time, weather forecasts, retail advertisements, bus schedules, and other valuable information. This will engage the site from distances outside the structural boundaries of stadium.
