I was looking at the concert technical package for Rogers Place to see how our media reported 400,000 ton maximum roof load compared.
Rogers Place has a maximum of 200,000 pounds over centre stage, which is 100 tons...
They messed up and nobody caught it. What they meant to say was 400,000 pounds, but that's still twice the load!
The Saddledome BTW if you're curious is a measly 90,000 pounds, and it can get as low as 40,000 pounds over centre stage during winter snow loads.
edit:
- Rogers Arena: 60,000 pounds
- Scotiabank Arena: 100,000 pounds
