ABSTRACT:
A roof structure and method of constructing the same wherein a large clear span is built over an existing or new athletic stadium or arena. The principal feature of the roof is that it is supported by Cable-Stays to towers standing outside the stadium and can be built over an existing stadium by cantilevering without entering the stadium, and places no added weight on the existing stadium. The structure includes a beam framework and a roof covering installed over the framework. The covering is fabricated of a clear skylight material to allow sufficient light transmission to permit a natural grass playing field, and it is openable to allow for ventilation.
