News continues to flow regarding the potential retrofitting of BC Place Stadium with a new, retractable roof.
It was reported last week by 1040 that the retrofit had all but been confirmed. Then a team was spotted attaining core samples of the building's concrete inside and out and also of the surrounding area. It has now been speculated that the proposal, which needs to be passed by the BC Provincial Legislature may go before the house today.
One things for certain, with only 20 months remaining this could be a very risky gamble.
The current roof will need to be replaced shortly after the 2010 Olympics but a new fabric dome top would only cost approx. $20M vs. the $150-250M potential costs for a retractable roof.
