I'd be okay with keeping the roof closed during bp and pre game festivities, then opening it in the third or fourth inning. But I know that in reality it would probably be closed 80% of the time. Any of you Houston fans have stats on what percentage of games MMP is open?

So you don't think a deep fly ball hit with the roof closed at 75 degrees inside with 15% humidity vs roof open and 95 degrees with 80% humidity will behave significantly differently?

Atlanta is opening a new stadium next year. Turner opened for summer Olympics 1996
quote:So it resembles a high school stadium or you're admitting that your Astros fandom influences your opinion of it?
I don't want this to turn into a Houston v Dallas or Astros v Rangers thread so I won't go into it.
I gave my opinion and for the sake of this thread I'll leave it at that.

Wouldn't shock me at all if the $$$ value on lost revenue from no roof is significant... I'm a diehard Rangers fan and season ticket holder, and you will rarely see me out at the park in June/July/August. Baseball is just too slow a sport to "enjoy" in 100+ degree weather.

The roof would have to be able to completely open in between innings for them to open or close it during the game, unless they changed the rule.
