The roof would still allow some games to use the elements while giving many more uses for the stadium year round.

I do not know if hey have land needed to build a new stadium without getting rid of Paycor first. If they did, to me a grea plan would be to buiild the new retaractible roof stadium. Once it is completed, build a 40 story hotel where Paycoe sits right now.This additional hotel space would help us attract more events like a Super Bowl game, final fours and concerts to help the city. county and team to recoup their investment. They could own the hotel and hire a management company to operate it. If not own, that land is expensive and I am sure there would be a hotel that would love to build an iconic hotel right by the new stadium, and very close to US bank, GABP and the west side new soccer fcility.

The 40 story hotel be equipmed with 8 to 10 restaurants and multple bars, even shopping. The parking could be undeground and help with game or event day parking as well.

It won't happen, but that woud be my desired outcome.

I'm kinda half in on this. I'd prefer to keep the existing stadium and do the upgrades they showed earlier this year, with more suites around the north end. I also liked how the new practice facility fit into things and re-routing mehring way looked. Once the bubble is gone, that gives them more parking as well. 

The thing i'm really in on is the hotel/entertainment complex. Their curent "parking garage" just East of the stadium would be a perfect spot. Plenty of room for a big hotel with underground parking and entertainment/food places and it's right next to the stadium.
