Why don't we open the roof more?

[RustyBourneHorse]

Especially when it gets to like November when it's not so hot, why don't we have the roof open more? If Jerry wants the aesthetics of the sun shining through the stadium, isn't that why the roof is retractable? What's the point of having a retractable roof if you're only going to open the roof once every few years (except for 2020)? That way, he can have curtains off to the west, and he can still get the sun shining into the stadium with the roof being open.

Stephen doesn’t like allowing the air conditioning to escape through the open roof.

Gotta save pennies so they can sign Parsons when the time comes.

bc god is pissed and doesn't want to watch this crap show clearly.

I've also wondered this. Maybe Jane should ask him just to see the Jerral meltdown.

I know the sun puts a glare on the big screen in day games and Jerry doesn’t like it.

Because the stadium wasn't built to have the roof opened, I know what the open roof is, the damn roof is up on top of the stadium, how about we just tear the damn roof down!!!! lol

If this is true is IRONY is palpable.

And allow the stench out to pollute Arlington?

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

These are the guys in charge of opening the roof every home game

I was just about to post that the City of Arlington has an ordinance concerning unmitigated stench of failure in parts per milion

 

[Redsfan_83]

I'm guessing because he doesn't want to give fans another escape to get out of dodge when the crap hits the fan during their so called games

....then turn off the AC when you open the roof.

Is that true? It would make sense. It's always driven me crazy that they don't open the stadium on perfect days like Sunday.

To spare God from having to watch this mess.

 

[Streifenkarl]

What for? One open/close cycle probably costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. For basically no effect.

With all that's being going on, THIS is what gets a thread?

Then maybe the roof should have been a fixed roof. Or, I have a better idea, put solar panels on top of the Jumbotron for that reason.

Fact.

Because it makes me wonder why we even have a retractable roof if we aren't going to open it. It'd have been cheaper for the community to make it a fixed roof if they're not going to open it .

Exactly, this past Sunday, from what I saw on TV, looked to be perfect open roof weather. What's the weather gotta be for them to open the roof? Shouldn't Jerry have saved the community money and gotten it to begin a fixed roof if he's not going to open the roof?

I know the first year it had to do with the likely-hood of storms in the area and the temperature outside. There were certain criteria that had to be met with those.
