I would have preferred an open stadium, but again, this doesn't look so bad. And like other users said, is practical, specially because of the harsh russian winter. And for what i've heard, the new roof was added by that reason, as well for ceremonies ones (guess they want to try something similar to Vancouver 2010 and Astana 2011 WAG)

Well, I can't describe winter in Sochi as harsh :lol: :lol: :lol: May be a little stormy and rainy :huh:

The stadium loses a lot of its openness and lightness with the complete covering and the overhead shots and across the stunning Park during the ceremonies will lose something when you can't see people inside the stadium. But if this makes more sense for Sochi after the Games are over then I'm all for it. It'll mean the stadium can be used all year round, in all conditions even in harsh Russian winters. Losing a bit of design elegance for a better legacy is defintely sensible.

Indeed! It will be much more practical with our warm, but rainy winters.
By the way, what organizers have been doing for the last 5 years? Right from the start of the bid they have been talking about open stadium. Winning the bid is a hard thing. There were lots of inspections about venues, consultations with economists, architects, officials and so on. Everything was fine until the 2011 summer. Someone said: "Wait a minute. It rains like cats and dogs here in Sochi. May be we should add a roof?". Ta-daaam. Where this wise man was before?

So, at the end we see a stadium, wich was corrected over and over again insead of indoor stadium, wich was designed as indoor venue from the scratch. Nothing agaisnt Central Stadium, only gloomy thoughts about cost overruns and broken deadlines :)
