SHOULD BE RETITLED

This video is 50 minutes and 70% of it is devoted to the Toronto Skydome. The information leading up to why there were domed stadiums is good. The Astrodome section is too brief and the Metrodome and Silverdome aren't even mentioned. If the Skydome and history of retractable roofs for sporting event venues is of strong interest, you'll like this film. For me, it wasn't complete.

Arched over vast playing fields, domed stadiums are engineering marvels that seem to defy nature and physics, and have transformed the face of sports in America. Houston's groundbreaking Astrodome was the "eighth wonder of the world." New Orleans's Superdome and Seattle's Kingdome improved on the original, but one key problem remained: fans enjoyed watching the games outdoors. See how engineers tackled that obstacle with the awe-inspiring Toronto Skydome and its revolutionary push- button retractable roof! More than just a stadium, the Skydome includes a hotel and countless other features in a state-of-the-art entertainment complex. Get a behind-the- scenes look at the technology and construction of this astonishing structure that is sure to be the model for the super-stadiums of the 21st century.
