Would the canopy be above the existing light standards? The higher it is, the less protection it provides.

My guess is that the canopy would look a little like the one in Austin and the lights would then be moved to the canopy.

Crazy that 10-20 hospitalizations and 200 emergency calls, per Wicker, over the course of a few hours has turned into canopy jokes by homers who think Snapdragon is Valhalla and everyone that had heat stroke were BYU fans named Nancy. I won’t go check names bc it doesn’t matter, but I wonder if the same people whining about Malcolm playing in Russia because “government resources” or whatever are also those that don’t mind 7 SDFD engine companies and a battalion chief having to be on-site for a football game to provide medical aid. Hmm. Anyway, I don’t really care about canopies one way or the other and Snapdragon IS, in fact, Valhalla. But woof, we’ve memory-holed and minimized the UA game so quick. Nobody minimized the game or the seriousness of the issues. But the kneejerk reaction that somehow canopies would have saved the day are dumb. It was a freak hot day and smart people like myself got the hell out of there. Below is a chart which shows the temperature at game time back to 2013. Going back to 2013, there are only 4 games (not including this season) that had games played mid day (highlighted in YELLOW). Of those 4, only one was in the mid 90's (the next highest was 73 degrees). The overall average gametime temp for all games was 69 degrees. When you look at other "hot" games (above 80 degrees and a total of SIX games - highlighted in ORANGE), all were in late afternoon/early evening with one starting at 3:30 PM. So canopies would have had minimal effect.  If a soccer team wants to come in and blow 50+ mill on canopies, that's fine. We better get the money up front though. Because SOMEONE will have to pay for those, and it'll be soccer fans. But short of building a dome over the stadium and blowing AC in, shades would have had a minimal effect. IT WAS FREAKING HOT! |

I drove by the stadium this morning westbound of Friars, I like the way the stadium looks. Really wonder if we cannot do a soft canopy using cables for shade. Just seems silly to have a canopy for rain in San Diego. The Romans used a soft canopy in the Colosseum for shade.
