About three maybe four weeks ago on channel 19 news, I believe it was, they mentioned a possible new Domed Soccer Stadium in Macedonia and that was it. Anyone hear anything about a domed stadium ?

I personally don't care if it's domed or not, but if it is domed, it should be retractable. I really don't want to sit in a bubble to watch soccer on a nice sunny day or even on a rainy day. Ok,go ahead and close it in thunderstorms.
Wait a minute, I guess, I do care :rolleyes:

However, it would be smart to design capabilities in to the stadium, so it can be utilized in our beautiful winter months. I hear you ! How much more would that cost and where is the $$$ coming from ? I have no idea. :D

Maybe it will have a roof over the stands, and as soon as the dim-bulbs in the newsroom heard the word "roof", they thought "dome."

A dome would cost a fortune, and would ruin the atmosphere for true soccer fans. There's no way a soccer-specific stadium would be built with a dome, because they'd never be able to cost justify the thing. A partial roof like european stadiums would be more appropriate.

"True" soccer fans? :confused:

I would prefer an outdoor stadium as it is more economical to build and maintain real turf. Cleveland has a host of indoor facilities for soccer, so I think the outdoor area would be a bigger draw.

Try telling that to fans of Consadole Sapporo.
