Mpenza Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 A long time ago, with the first roof that was put on top of the stadium, they could. They did... like... twice. Then it tore open. They closed it permanently, since there was a chance of tearing it again if it was retracted. Then they bought a new roof, which wasn't retractable. And it tore open because of the weight of the snow one day. And they closed the stadium in the winter for like ten years... And this is where we're at.

I recall reading somewhere that they did manage to do it 2 or 3 times, but then there was a malfunction of some sort and it was left on permanently.
