The Glendale stadium was $455M USD in 2003-2006. I dunno what that is in 2017 CDN dollars. But it's a lot.
Obviously the the concept drawing was bare-bones. But there was no mention at all by KK the roof would be retractable. Only that it would be translucent. I realize the retractable roof costs more.

What I am suggesting is that given a choice, most people would prefer a retractable roof. Why would you not (besides cost)? If the game is played on a beautiful evening, wouldn't you want a nice breeze? If its freezing and snowing, close the roof.


EDIT: The Cards stadium also has the fancy removable pitch, adding quite a bit of cost.
