The new roof is made of ETFE, a lightweight, translucent material that allows natural light to enter the stadium. The roof also features a number of solar panels, which generate electricity for the stadium. The new roofing solution has a number of benefits. It provides shelter from the elements for spectators, players, and staff. It also helps to reduce energy costs and improve the sustainability of the stadium.
