Keep in mind that MLG's roof only started sporting maple leafs in the 80s/90s or so. So while it may be fundamental to MLG's former purpose, it certainly isn't fundamental to MLG's original aspect. (Not that it matters, in the end.)

Fair enough, but I still like them. They accentuate the Maple Leaf part of MLG...
The city does not like heat-absorbing black roofs, so this new layer will likely have another white layer, paint or otherwise, applied over it before this work is finished.

Nice pic Android, and nice slide from there down to the concrete part of the structure. Better than the corus one IMO.

Wishful thinking on my part, but MLG would have looked interesting with a Reichstag dome.

I wonder what it feels like to be standing on a roof that was built in the 30's, in the Great Depression, in a few months..
That was left empty to rot for a decade..
I would be freaked the hell out.

If it can handle snow, I'm sure it can handle a few people walking on it. It's not the Metrodome or the Big O afterall, hahaha.
And I agree, a Reichtag dome would have been an interesting addition to it, especially if they lit it up at night.

The new arena for Ryerson is on the upper level. A big glass dome might not be good for the ice quality.

I bet it will piss off those security guards that trolled here.
Pretty awesome photo. It's like they're building a building inside a building (I know they are, but still). Not exactly something you see everyday. Normally when you see those types of portable cranes on a construction site, the site is normally outside, not inside, haha.
