Subject: Proposed Covering for Atlanta Stadium

Dear Mr. Nixon:

You asked for my comments on the proposed airsupported covering
on the Atlanta Stadium, and I would think that the following
information would be necessary before one could fairly judge the
above structure:

1. The material used and the life expectancy.

2. The noise of the inflating equipment.

3. The number of men that it takes to erect and take down
the covering, as they would have to be trained people
on a regular payroll in order to function efficiently.

4, For an ingress and egress for a large number of people
the method of controlling the pressure for keeping the
dome supported.

I am afraid this is not of much help, but I believe the information
would be necessary before one could make a recommendation.

Yours truly,

R. G. Aaron
Engineer of Bridges
