I do agree that the sun sucks, but Al has already said it's impossible to create shade for that side of the field because they cant build any higher . I dont see a way the stadium couldve been designed differentlyin order to create shade, besides it being a dome. But its Cali, there's absolutely no reason to have a dome stadium. At least they dropped the water prices to 2 bucks haha. Time to bring out the sun screen and shades ;)

Those pillars for Miami's shade structure would not pass the airport height regulations.

But we've been over that before, guys. Bringing it up again won't change things

Dolphins need that thing to be hurricane proof and take on 150mph winds. I don't see why we can't just build simple shade awnings over the sunny side that are temporary without adding too much height or weight. I believe we have a 24 foot difference between Levis and the maximum allowed height.

It's 2018 not 218. There are ways to create shade. Qatar is about to make a flying blimp cloud thing that covers the sun for the World Cup and it only costs $500K. That's like the NFL vet minimum salary. But hey let's put in a virtual putt putt golf course because that's why fans come to a football game.

San Jose airport flight paths probably make this impossible via regulation. I mean, if they can't build mutch more vertically without violating regulations I'm sure having what is essentially a huge flying saucer over the stadium probably isn't gonna approved, either.

Depends on how high it can get up. Maybe if they park that think over Saratoga like 5 miles up, it'll cover all
of Santa Clara and the greater South Bay Area.

Yes, thank you. This is the type of creative thinking that gets problems solved. I hate the, "no way, that's impossible" attitude. What if some of the greatest inventors thought like that? Nothing would ever get accomplished.
