Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: The Ultradome: The man looking into this $40;000 model of a domed stadium is Bernard Smits; manager of marketing at Atlas Steels; the Welland-based company that would supply the steel for the stainless steel roof. But the concept; which was developed by engineers Stephen Parazader and Donald Sinoski; involes sliding walls rather than a retractable roof; to let fans enjoy sunshine.
