Rosenborg BK have plans to build a roof on their stadium, because the seasons are getting longer and longer. The roof will be able to be opened, just like at Millenium Stadium. It is calculated to cost about 100 mill kroner (about 16 million USD). It's not known when the roof will be finnished (or even if, but it will probably be buildt).

Here are some screens from the earliest sketches:

Note: The corners will probably be closed (hopefully).


I think it's not so good, I don't like the big pillars. But I do like the idea. :D


What is your opinion?

Because of winter and snow. The pitch are in really bad conditions from November to March. And with the roof it will be possible to get the pitch good and useable. :)
