Can anyone tell me the (a) altitude of the Superdome and (b) the height of the Superdome?
It seems to me that thing could become the worlds largest enclosed lake.
From Google...The Superdome is a massive structure located on 52 acres of land; a height of 253 feet, a dome diameter of 680 feet, making it the largest domed structure in the world.
The Superdome is built to withstand catastrophes; the roof is built to stand up to 200 MPH wind and even deep flood water wouldn't reach the second level 35 feet from the ground. It has thus been used as an emergency shelter but is not designed for the task; in 1998 during Hurricane Georges problems included looting and supplying 14,000 people with necessities.
yup , 273 ft high , roof area is almost 10 acres , MASSIVE
no superdome left if NO is in the NE quadrent of a cat5+++
