Should Flushing Meadow's have a roof?

Flushing Meadow chiefs now fear today's scheduled start to the final Slam of the year will be disrupted.

Transport systems were closed on Saturday in preparation for the storms and the Flushing complex was a no-go area yesterday, with Sky Sports forced to dismantle their on-site studio.

World No 4 Murray had to train indoors while still not knowing if his first-round clash with Indian Somdev Davverman will be tomorrow or Wednesday.

The courts there are not even covered and US Open bosses will have to wait for them to dry following downpours before any action can take place.

Why don't they just build a roof?

Have you seen the size of it.

The way the American economy is at present it would cost a fortune to construct apart from being an Engineering feat even greater than Wimbledon.

Probably require British (possibly Scottish) Engineers to do the job!

Enter socal

And in any case the Sun report is out of date as the official website is saying play will start on time and besides it was NOT a hurricane that hit in the end but a tropical storm and all transport is back up and running.

They should probably just lay a gigantic plank of wood over the top of the stadium.

Yeah, when they did the cost analysis because of the size of Arthur Ashe retro-fitting it with a roof would be almost as expensive as building a whole new site.
