大都会老板在2021年时,曾经在推特上回答一位球迷
希望球场能加盖开闭式屋顶的请求

当时他的回答是说这样要花3亿镁
而根据纽邮Jon Heyman最新的报导
大都会老板后来真的有去探索这事

Mets owner Steve Cohen is one who’s looked into building a retractable roof for
Citi Field, no surprise since he’ll consider anything to improve Mets fan expe
rience.
And word is Cohen was told it would cost $800 million to add a retractable roof,
which seems to have given him pause to the point where he is currently consider
ing it a missed opportunity. (The cost would have been a mere fraction of that u
pon construction, more on that later.)
结果他被告知的数字远远超过3亿镁
要在花旗球场加盖的话,需要耗资到8亿镁
这钱都能盖一座新球场了
Sources suggest the Wilpons did investigate a roof back in 2007 when they were c
onceiving of Citi Field and found it would cost an additional $100 million to $1
25 million back then. I’m not here to bash the Wilpons. They did know their rea
l estate, and Citi Field is one of the best of the newer parks in baseball (say
what you want about the Wilpons, but they succeeded with their TV endeavor, SNY,
and they did know their real estate, which was their main business).
而早在2007年,梅子前任老板Wilpons也曾想过这事
当时得出的数字是1亿到1.5亿
A roof was added to Arthur Ashe Stadium on the other side of the 7 train for a m
ere $150 million, but a tennis court is much smaller than a baseball field. The
$800 million figure might even be light considering inflation.
作为比较,内文也提到美网主球场Arthur Ashe Stadium
当初加盖屋顶是花了1.5亿美金
