Working with Birdair Structures, Inc., we have now developed a design for an air-supported "umbrella" roof dome that Birdair believes can be put up or taken down in only three hours. This roof would be lifted into place by a 300-ft. hi g h telescoping mast in the center of the field, which would then retract into a missile-type "silo," leaving the stadium covered and ready for use. We submit herewith slides and drawings illustrating the system. Rough pre liminary estimates indica te that the r oof system and mast, i ncluding the air-support e quipme nt and a ventilation system , would probably cost between $1½ and $2 million. However, the present field lighting system would have to be modified, thereby making the total cost of the roof, its support systems, lighting modifications, and other work on portal vestibules , etc., possibly as hi gh as $4 or $5 million. However, a side benefit of t he lighting modifications could be t he raising of li ght levels to new requirement s for night color television for footbal l . As you will recall, all other types of dome structures and mechanical systems proposed in the past have been estimated at $15 to $18 million. �HEERY AND HEERY· Fli'JCH. ALEXANDER, BARNES. ROTHSCHILD.AND PASCHAL The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr . April 10, 1967 Page 2 This new approach would not only be less objectionable aesthetically, but could be utilized as a permanent-type roof, should the Authority subsequently find it desirable to install a heating a nd air conditioning system and plan to leave the roof in place for extended periods of time or permanently. The probable cost for a heating and air conditioning system for the stadium would run between $5 and $6 million, which would still give Atlanta a far better barga in than the Houston stadium, which cost some $38 million and is substantially smaller in both seating capacity and dimension than the Atlanta Stadium . We believe that this design may be an answer to your desire to assure f a ns traveling to Atlanta Stadium from cities throughout the Southeast that scheduled events will be played on the scheduled dates.

Rough preliminary estimates indicate that the roof system and mast, including the air-support equipment and a venti- lation system, would probably cost between $14 and $2 million. However, the present field lighting system would have to be modified, thereby making the total cost of the roof, its support systems, lighting modifications, and other work on portal vestibules, etc., possibly as high as $4 or $5 million. However, a side benefit of the light- ing modifications could be the raising of light levels to new requirements for night color television for football. As you will recall, all other types of dome structures and mechanical systems proposed in the past have been estimated at $15 to $18 million. HEERY AND HEERY- FINCH, ALEXANDER, BARNES, ROTHSCHILD, AND PASCHAL The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. April 10, 1967 Page 2 This new approach would not only be less objectionable aes- thetically, but could be utilized as a permanent-type roof, should the Authority subsequently find it desirable to install a heating and air conditioning system and plan to leave the roof in place for extended periods of time or permanently. The probable cost for a heating and air con- ditioning system for the stadium would run between $5 and $6 million, which would still give Atlanta a far better bargain than the Houston stadium, which cost some $38 mil- lion and is substantially smaller in both seating capacity and dimension than the Atlanta Stadium, We believe that this design may be an answer to your desire to assure fans traveling to Atlanta Stadium from cities throughout the Southeast that scheduled events will be played on the scheduled dates.
