I never said the Saddledome was the first building to have a roof like that. You assumed that was what I meant. I meant that the designers were trying to be creative with things like the luxury suites and the layout of the concourses, and because they made the whole shebang out of poured concrete, most of their mistakes were not fixable.
As they say, don't make assumptions: it makes an Ass out of U and Mption. Which is a damn silly thing to say, but there you are.
