At a height of 305 feet, the stadium features a\u202fdistinctive facade that consists of a light-weight plastic skin and a unique retractable roof that allows natural light to enter the stadium either through the roof being opened or by natural light entering the stadium through the north and east ends. The oculus retractable roof, that resembles a pinwheel, is\u202freminiscent\u202fof the Roman Pantheon and a falcon\u2019s wings. Consisting of eight triangle pieces, the roof can open or close within ten minutes.\u202fA 61,000 square foot outdoor fan plaza outside the stadium is a great place for fans to mingle before or after games.
