Uni-Systems designed, manufactured and installed the mechanization
for the retractable roof and field at University of Phoenix Stadium.
The cable driven roof bi-parts at the 50-yard line and rests over each
end zone when in the open position. When closing, the roof panels are
driven uphill along rails set in a vertical arc.
The
18.9 million pound natural grass playing field is driven in and out of
the stadium along steel rails at the touch of a button. Storing the
field out of doors allows the stadium to be used for conventions and
other events, and simplifies maintaining a healthy grass playing field. |
