Video: Both retractable doors must open at the same time or...

[Boyzmamacita]

...the roof of Cowboys Stadium could blow off!!! This per Matt Lauer.

I hope there is a built-in mechanism that won't allow one door to open without the other door opening too.:

that would be bad...

that would be bad...

No kidding. And it's the first I've ever heard this. Like I said, they have got to have a built-in mechanism for synchronization or somebody's head should roll.

 

[Rampage]

I kinda doubt that.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

I kinda doubt that.

I kinda hope you're right, but why would Matt Lauer lie about it?

maybe he just misunderstood what was said. that's a very big roof and I'd think it would take a very bad tornado or hurricane to take that off

And not only does the roof weigh a lot, but the two massive arches anchored to the ground run right through the middle of it.

So is the videoboard (very big). That alone should hold it down, right? I hope.

Was it built by the same people that built the practice facility?

Let's hope not.

Oompa loompas!

Yeah, I'm sure the finest architectual engineers in the world were completely unable to think of this before hand. I'm sure they made a stadium that could fall apart based on some wind.

Please.

Well he said it could blow them off so I would imagine under normal circumstances the roof would not get blown off. But like others have said I am sure there is some sort of safety mechanism and/or certain weather conditions that they will not open the door(s).

It wouldn't be the first time that the burnt out light bulb network told a false statement, however that is usually about something in a forum that no longer exists here.
