I’ve always wondered how the c/b analysis works for movable roofs when they build a stadium. It seems time an expensive upgrade that results in a really high per use cost.
Current estimates are in the $100 million additional cost range.
and with us now being in the $1.5 Billion range for most new stadiums, that's a noticeable amount, but not astronomical.
I read somewhere that Minute Maid roof cost an additional $65 mil and opens/closes it an average of 160 times per year for different events.
25 years (so far) at 160 per year is around 4,000 openings.
so about $16,000 per opening and dropping with each use.
if they hypothetically keep using it another 15 years at same pace, that drops it to right about $10,000 per use give or take.
