Installation Begins On The ETFE Roof

This week the first ETFE (ethylene tetra-flouro-ethylene) panels were placed on the stadium roof’s south side. More than 245,000 square feet of the transparent, light-weight material will cover 60% of the stadium’s roof, giving stadium users a clear view of the sky and an outdoor feel in a climate-controlled environment. The ETFE will continue to be placed for the next several months. The stadium is expected to be fully enclosed by November 1. For more information on ETFE, click here.
