I was just reading an article putting forth the opinion that all MLB teams should have stadiums with retractable roofs. I know the minor leagues in baseball are on another level compared to other sports. Even minor league teams can draw thousands and thousands of fans in the right market. It made me curious that if it ever becomes the standard in MLB, if you’d start seeing it more on the minor league level. Has it already started? A simple Google search did not give me an answer so I ask the FAN community  |

I'm pretty sure none of them have roofs period, much less retractable ones.

You’d think they’d help with rain delays anyway if some just had regular roofs. Maybe this was on the table of possibilities at some point, but who knows what minor league attendance will look like after this pandemic is sorted out. |

Considering the field size, I'd imagine roofs are just way, way too expensive for what they'd be worth (less delays or postponements for maybe 1/4 to 1/3rd of the games.) Minor league teams rn and in the near future will probably just be excited to exist given the new climate both with the pandemic and also with how icy relations with owners are rn. |
