ABSTRACT:
A continuous curtain for surrounding a stadium and to extend upwardly from the upper margin of the stadium so as to minimize lateral wind forces and thereby eliminate erratic wind currents on or above the playing field of the stadium. The curtain has a number of side-by-side panels with each panel being porous or having holes therethrough to permit limited flow of air through the panels. The panels are suspended from a location above the stadium and extend downwardly to ground level in generally vertical planes. The upper margins of the panels are spaced well above the upper margin of the stadium, and the curtain is open at the top of the wind barrier. Thus, the interior of the space surrounded by the curtain is not closed to the upper hemisphere. The suspending structure for the curtain is buoyant in air and is held down by cables extending downwardly from the buoyant structure to the ground. The buoyant structure can be helium-filled balloons which are supplied by helium from helium sources at ground level.
