Frazer Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 20, 2005 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT As existing open-air or fully enclosed stadia are reaching their life expectancies, cities are choosing to replace them with structures with moving roofs. This kind of facility provides protection from weather for spectators, a natural grass playing surface for players, and new sources of revenue for owners. The first retractable-roof stadium in North America, the Rogers Centre, has hosted numerous successful events but cost the city of Toronto over CA$500 million. Today, there are five retractable-roof stadia in use in America. Each has very different structural features designed to accommodate the conditions under which they are placed, and their individual costs reflect the sophistication of these features.

  • 5 Year Capital Improvement Program Fiscal Year
    5 Year Capital Improvement Program Fiscal Year 2011/12-2016 Date: February 7, 2012 To: City Council From: City Manager A RESOL UTION OF THE MAYOR AND CI TY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, ADOPTING THE CITY’S FIVE-YE AR CAPITAL IMPROVE MENT PL AN COMMENCING IN FISCAL YEAR 2011-12 AND ENDING I N FISCAL YEAR 2015-16; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR ALL OTHER PURPOSES. The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is the City's Five-Year Plan of proposed capital expenditures to be incurred each year over a period of five years to meet the City’s anticipated capital needs. The CIP is revised annually and adopted by the City Council typically with the first year converting into the annual capital budget. The Capital Improvement Program is part of the City's budget and management process, which helps to implement the City’s Comprehensive Plan. To that end, Chapter 163 Florida Statutes, requires that the CIP must reflect the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan (Capital Improvement Element) and its implementation strategies. Additionally, State law requires that the five-year schedule of capital improvements be “financially feasible”. Financial feasibility means that sufficient revenues are available or will be available from committed funding sources for the first three years, or will be available from committed or planned funding sources for years 4 and 5, of a five-year capital improvement schedule for financing capital improvements. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed CIP is financially feasible in accordance with statutory requirements.

    MINNESOTA TWINS BASEBALL CLUB METROPOLITAN STADIUM HOME OF MINNESOTA TWINS /EprP.1n/inf/ /I , AMERICAN LEAGUE _j1,, i'; , Upp er /'ZIweoi Year of the Great Confluence For the big-league starved fans of the Upper Midwest, the Big Day came on October 26, 1 9 d6a0t,e of the transfer of the American League Senators from Washington to the Minneapolis and St. Paul territory, and the merger of three proud baseball traditions. For their new fans to gloat about, the renamed Minnesota Twins brought with them three pennants won in Washington, in 1924, '25 and '33, and a world championship in 1924. Now, their new boosters could claim a share of such Senator greats as Clark C. (Old Fox) Griffith, Wolter (Big Train) Johnson, Joe Cronin, Lean (Goose) Goslin, Clyde (Deerfoot) Milan, Ed Delahanty, James (Mickey) Vernon, Roy Sievers, and others. Reciprocally, the Twins could now absorb the glories of 18 American Asso- ciation pennants - nine won by St. Paul and nine by Minneapolis - in 59 seasons. They could be reminded of the tremendous pennant burst by St. Paul in 1920, with the Saints winning 115, losing only 49, posting a .701 percentage, and running away from Joe McCarthy's second-place Louisville Colonels by 28 1/2 games. Mike Kelley, the American Association's grand old man, managed that one and four other Saints flag winners before buying the Minneapolis club and putting together three more championship combinations. The pattern for winning boll in St. Paul was set early, in the first year of minor league ball, in fact.
