Team 1040, a local sports radio station, is reporting that the retractable roof retrofit of BC Place Stadium has been confirmed. Stay tuned for more firm confirmation on this major news piece.
Recently crews from Mud Bay Drilling were seen taking core samples around the stadium in what was believed to be an effort to further determine the structural integrity of the building since a retractable roof would no doubt weigh considerably more than the current air-supported fabric dome.
Interestingly, in a report from 24 Hours Bob Mackin a roof engineering specialist from Texas noted that he considered it an impossibility to commence and complete construction of a new retractable roof for BC Place in time for the 2010 Olympic Games.
It should also be noted that a retrofit of BC Place Stadium was not a part of the VANOC 2010 Olympic bid.
