at least the thread is now on a board where an actual discussion is possible

I believe that Sofi was built below surface level because it was in the flight line for LAX….crazy to hear of this threat now.

Insurance is just legalized extortion. No surprise no one brought it up when they were building it because letting them build it that way gave the insurance industry a bigger paycheck once they'd done it.

So exactly how many sports stadiums have ever been destroyed by flooding?

Superdome and Ford Field were heavily damaged by weather. And Minnesota had a huge snowstorm that collapsed the roof of their stadium iirc. I don't remember if it was the old or new one tho.

I know a lot of stadiums have been damaged by natural disasters over the years. So maybe not specifically flooding, but close enough.

I, of course, am aware of the damage to the Superdome caused by Katrina, but that was caused by the winds and storming, not flooding. Minnesota's damage was due to excessive snow buildup; again, not flooding. Nor was the damage to Ford Field due to flooding.
This article seems to target flooding as the real issue and the extreme high price tag, so that's why I asked if anyone knows of a stadium ever being destroyed by flooding. I'm not aware of there ever being one.

The article doesn't limit it to flooding though.

Among the 30 stadiums that were evaluated, some were identified as more vulnerable to 11 natural hazards like flooding, wildfires, extreme heat, and storm surge.

'Climate Change' doesn't exist, but that's an argument for a different time.

Agreed. We all know the real reason...

Hate Pastor: Hurricanes Are Caused By Porn In Schools - Joe.My.God.

“I don’t believe God sent that stuff. God didn’t send destruction to the Carolinas. You know what happened? I fear that we are starting to live Deuteronomy:28. We told God to get out. At first, he didn’t listen. He just hung in there with us. And then we demanded that he get out. We said, …

If these events are happening more frequently and can be more severe when they do happen the stadiums should do what they can to minimize the damage
