Bubble boys

Between the months of November and March, Alumni Stadium is enclosed in a 65-foot-high bubble of inflatable vinyl. It takes 50 workers a whole day to unfold the bubble, piece its four seams together, and position the cables that will keep it in place. An additional day is required to inflate the structure with hot air and install the lighting that turns the football field into winter practice space for baseball and other sports.
