We hope to mitigate that cost by utilizing the Crenosphere. Crenosphere featured in this issue illustrates the affordability of such a gigantic structure. We hope that will capture the attention of stadium and arena builders, managers, and coaches. Coaches know that playing in tough weather may add to the fans' enjoyment, but for the players such conditions only add to the risk. Like the Monolithic Dome, the Crenosphere Dome is the right building for controlling temperature-or indoor weather.
More injuries occur when athletes are cold, wet or miserable.
A Crenosphere designed as a stadium or as a multipurpose field house solves the problem of playing or practicing in foul weather. Such a Crenosphere field house on a school campus can accommodate other activities as well-marching bands, drill teams, soccer, etc. Many small colleges and schools can afford to build a 400' diameter Crenosphere field house. And, that Crenosphere, can be used as a disaster shelter.
