The world's first domed, ari-conditioned sports stadium. Home of major league baseball and football, the stadium seats 45,000 for baseball, 54,000 for football and up to 65,000 for conventions. The maximum sight of the roof is 206 feet or approximately the same as an eighteen story building. the dome spans 642 feet, twice that of any similar structure. the outside diameter is 710 feet, 6,000 tons of air-conditioning are used to cool the stadium which covers 91/2 acres of land. the roof contains 4,590 skylights admitting the light spectrum range necessary to grow grass.
