Super Bowl XXXVIII Scores Big with GE-Controlled Retractable Roof at Reliant Park Stadium.
Business Editors
Super Bowl XXXVIII
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 30, 2004
Attendees of Super Bowl XXXVIII will have plenty to worry about getting to the game this weekend -- finding parking, navigating souvenir vendors, fans with really big foam fingers --but the one thing they won't have to worry about is the weather. At Houston's Reliant Park, the National Football League is playing the year's biggest game under the league's first retractable roof stadium - made possible by GE Fanuc Automation.
The fully automated, two million-pound retractable roof - which was designed, manufactured and installed by Minneapolis, Minn.-based integrator Uni-Systems - features an automation system from GE Fanuc Automation, a unit of GE Infrastructure. The new roof will open and close an estimated 120 times each year for the next 30 years - taking fans outdoors when the weather is great, and indoors when it's not so great.
-Let It Roll-
According to Lennart Nielsen, Senior Electrical Engineer at Uni-Systems, precision and reliability is essential. "When an announcer tells a stadium full of people that it's time for the roof to roll, it had better roll on time, every time, not only for the show, but for safety," Nielsen says.
