Structure
The main structural elements, such as arches and bracing curve members, are made of steel and have a total span of 73.5 m (241 ft) between the concrete pile supports. The cladding system consists of a series of tensioned fabric membranes with a width of 3.2 m (10.5 ft), which span a length of 7 m to 13 m (23 ft to 42.7 ft) and are surrounded by corner cables.
This roofing system creates a transparent picture of the roof while protecting spectators from the effects of the weather.
