Mayor Allen had requested the architect's study, seeking a way to cover Atlanta Stadium without the expense and problems encountered by Houston with its permanent dome. "Atlanta's weather is unusually good," he had pointed out, "for both baseball and football. We were looking for a device to assure Atlanta fans and those who travel from Southeastern cities that they would see the scheduled contests." Heating and cooling will still be possible under the umbrella arrangement, if the Atlanta Stadium Authority feels the expense is justified. However, a ventilation system will be a part of the original project that will maintain comfortable conditions for the 3-4 hours of expected periods of use. The plastic roof initially will demand modifications of lighting, portal vestibules and other work which will run the total cost to four to five million dollars. But this compares with a $15 - 18 million figure for dome structures and mechancial systems proposed in the past. Houston Stadium was constructed with dome at a cost of about $38 million, and is over 100 feet smaller than Atlanta Stadium , with 10 , 000 less seating capacity. �- Page 3 - Construction cost of Atlanta Stadium was $18 million, including land, financing cost and other fees connected with the revenue bond. The new umbrella dome would give Atlanta the world's largest roof span with approximately 740 feet in diameter, free of obstruction. Various forms of design since the early 1920's in Germany have flirted with oval coverings, beginning with the Zeiss-Dywidag method extending to the Union dome in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1958--at that time the largest dome ever built, measuring 384 feet in diameter and rising to 116 feet. The Buffalo, N. Y., firm who participated in the Atlanta proposal, estimates the roof system, ventilation system and air support equipment will probably cost $1½ to $2 million, excluding the lighting changes. A byproduct of the lighting modification would be raising of light level to ideal requirements for night color television. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Heating and cooling will still be possible under the umbrella arrangement, if the Atlanta Stadium Authority feels the expense is justified. However, a ventilation system will be a part of the original project that will maintain comfortable conditions for the 3-4 hours of expected periods of use. The plastic roof initially will demand modifications of lighting, portal vestibules and other work which will run the total cost to four to five million dollars. But this compares with a $15-18 million figure for dome structures and mechancial systems proposed in the past. Houston Stadium was constructed with dome at a cost of about $38 million, and is over 100 feet smaller than Atlanta Stadium, with 10,000 less seating capacity. - Page 3 - Construction cost of Atlanta Stadium was $18 million, including land, financing cost and other fees connected with the revenue bond. The new umbrella dome would give Atlanta the world's largest roof span with approximately 740 feet in diameter, free of obstruction. Various forms of design since the early 1920's in Germany have flirted with oval coverings, beginning with the Zeiss-Dywidag method extending to the Union dome in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1958--at that time the largest dome ever built, measuring 384 feet in diameter and rising to 116 feet. The Buffalo, N. Y., firm who participated in the Atlanta proposal, estimates the roof system, ventilation system and air support equipment will probably cost $14 to $2 million, excluding the lighting changes. A byproduct of the lighting modification would be raising of light level to ideal requirements for night color television.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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.
