Is it even possible from an engineering perspective if after the south end zone addition is done, down the road if we added a partial roof sorta similar to CenturyLink Field (Seattle Seahawks stadium) to TS? It'd be so god forsakenly loud that's for sure.

I don't think you could do it without major structural changes.
It'd look like a tent sitting over the stadium

Based off the wind loads we have here and the amount of structural work that would need to be done to keep it from being ripped off I'm gonna say, NO.

Good point! It's possible but very costly

I bet not one person who had replied in this thread is a civil engineer.

<---- Yo


Of course that was my assumption without running any numbers or knowing the current strength of the existing stadium.
