Since when did they plan to cover the pitch?

Organizing committee decided that stadium will be better used for various non-sports events and concerts during all year with roof.

According to last info, the roof will be constructed only for the opening and closing ceremonies - for better views during TV translation and show. And will be dismantled after the Olympic Games.

^^ The World Cup Stadium without roof?! Won't it be rejected (mostly) like Munich Olympiastadion plan for 2006 World Cup??? How odd?!

Wait, you mean the roof over stands or the proposed roof over the pitch?

Russia....you know your country is cold when your famous warm beach resort hosts the Winter Olympics.

Over the pitch, of course :) . Which was proposed some time ago, and now in expertise.

Not that roof. :lol:

Not that roof. :lol:

:lol: He made my mind twisted, a lot. Phew, Finally...! :lol:
Thanks for the info. It might looks like BC Place prior 2011 renovations.

Russia....you know your country is cold when your famous warm beach resort hosts the Winter Olympics.

Isn't the average daily February temperature in Sochi above freezing? Cold is -10C. :|

Isn't the average daily February temperature in Sochi above freezing? Cold is -10C. :|

The daily mean February temperature in Sochi is +6°C (as well as in January). However, the climate is very different at the seashore and in the mountains.

For olympic winter games the stadium will be all covered by the roof, but for WC they'll uncover partiality provading sun for the grass.
