Retractable Steel Roof
This is the best choice for the Char County Flames' ballpark.

Try a roof that opens + Steel = Right

Enron Field in Houston, Texas, is a domed stadium with a retractable light-gage steel roof deck roof that opens and closes like the roof of a convertible car. It was built to replace the rigid Astrodome because players hated the Astroturf and the cavelike atmosphere in the stadium. Enron Field cost $250 million to build, and the roof opens and closes quietly in less than 20 minutes.

You have just enough money to build a retractable domed stadium. Thanks to you, the Char County Flames can play on real grass. Plus, on sizzling summer days, the roof can close, and the Flames can play in air-conditioned comfort. Congratulations!
