Hurricane Proof Ballpark

Hurricane Proof Ballpark: Miami’s futuristic new ballpark looks more like a space-ship than a sporting arena. To combat Florida’s hot, humid weather it has a state-of-the-art retractable roof that weighs as much as The Eiffel Tower, France. But Miami City is directly in the firing line of the most powerful Hurricanes to hit the States, and Marlins Park sits right in the flood zone. So engineers have packed the ballpark with radical aerodynamic solutions and innovative technology: giant hinges that allow the roof to sway, a roof that can be put into three different positions, and window glass toughened to withstand killer impacts.
