Retractable roofs. Do they close?

[bmxnw]

I just played a game in the rain at Safeco Field. Being a die hard M's fan, I can tell you that if someone even thinks the word "rain" in Seattle, they close the roof. Yet there I was on a rain-soaked evening at "The Safe" with the roof open. Am I missing something?

I haven't really been paying attention, but I don't think I have ever seen Chase Field with their roof closed.

no retractable roofs this year. definite possibility next year however.

Would be a nice addition for presentation purposes.

I''m sure it'll be in next year, even more reason to since they added rain this year.

That seems pretty rediculous that they would omit something like that since so many stadiums have them nowdays. Even more so since MLB2K5 had retractable roofs.

But the stadiums in 2k5 is less detailed than the ones now. And it's not like they can go just in and add a layer of roof in the stadiums.

I understand that. I am just saying that it seems like a pretty glaring omission. Rain has only touched the grass of Safeco Field one time in its 12 years of existance. I would bet that more games/events at Safeco have the roof closed then open.
