Retractable domes are considered to be an outdated and failed idea from what I've read. I should qualify, when they’re built in a similar climate to ours.
They nearly always stay closed and are a maintenance nightmare, and add a ton of $ to the project.
I think the Browns are balancing it with a fully glass roof.

I guess it would depend the weight of the part that is retractable as that would require more maintenance? Idk. Just guessing.
Actually, a full glass or plastic dome that allows light inside would be the answer. This way a smaller part of it could be retractable. Say 100 yards by 50 yards of it is retractable.

If it is a dome then that ceiling better have some crazy, outstanding, never before seen in human history type of shit going on.
I know I'm not alone in saying a grass field for sure. I know they can use lights to simulate the sun for grass to grow on a giant "tray" of a football field that slides in & out to accommodate different events and when the turf is pulled away it goes into an area with those lights overhead to keep grass growing in a sterile environment. Great! The technology is being used.
Riddle me this.
If the field can be retracted why not the dome?

Oh they both can be, but it’s a $ issue, and the current price tag is already 3.5 billion. There’s no ROI on doing either.
