Rigid Glass Roof
You've decided to cover the roof of this domed stadium with glass. It looks great, but none of the outfielders on the Char County Flames can catch a fly ball!

Rigid roof + Glass = Wrong

When it's sunny, the glass dome acts like a lens and creates such a glare that the outfielders literally can't see fly balls!

You don't want the Flames to look like fools, so try another dome option.

Keep the rigid roof, but try another material Try a roof that opens
