Question about Basic vs. Deluxe new stadiums

[Trackball]

In my CFM, I'm moving the Titans home to Houston (Oilers, of course), and giving them a Sphere Stadium, in the vein of "what if the Astrodome were built today, and was as much of an architectural marvel by modern standards as it was in the 1960s?"

Likewise, I'm moving the Bills to Toronto (chose the name Thunderbirds) and am going with a Traditional Stadium, because I want to see them play in the Canada snow. (Unless maybe the Futuristic Stadium doesn't close its roof...can it?)

Anyway, I see that the Basic versions of stadiums come with all the amenities just at level 1, while the Deluxe versions, while more expensive, start them at level 4.

So I ask for clarification: If I go with a Basic stadium, can I still upgrade those amenities later, like I can with existing stadiums? Pretty sure the answer is still yes, but I have to be sure.

Almost sure you can.
Another question, deluxe futuristic is open air right?

Yes, I can tell that the Basic and Deluxe versions of each stadium looks exactly the same on the outside--just that the amenities like the bathrooms and Fan Zone are level 4 in the Deluxe stadium.

So Basic Canopy looks exactly the same as Deluxe Canopy, Basic Traditional looks exactly the same as Deluxe Traditional, etc.

As for Futuristic being open air...I don't know. It LOOKS like it, but since it's, well, futuristic, it's possible it will have a closing roof, like the Hybrid stadium.

I doubt it, but that's why I'm here: to make sure.

Futuristic is open-air.

It has a bright team color band that runs along the top of the stadium that can be iffy depending on your team colors, but otherwise looks the most like an actual NFL stadium.

Good to know.

Just chose Deluxe Futuristic for my Toronto Thunderbirds.

Mods, feel free to close this now that my question's been answered.

(Incidentally, I chose the Deluxe Traditional stadium first...but then reloaded the file, because not only did the news say the fans hated it, but that they were asking Congress to intervene. In Toronto. Canada.)

Thank you for the answers too.
And i won't have to restart just because of a stadium.
