Here is the bigger picture. The "Upper" level will actually all be on the ground as the field is in a bowl. Next they are not trying to cover the stadium. Not to mention this stadium is actually very small. The Timbers field is as i remember the smallest size legal for MLS play. They also only have 20,000 seats. The original statement was about building a baseball stadium. Usually 40,000 seats and then going back later and putting a roof on it. Yes i laughed out loud reading it.
And no there is no Joke on Me here.
