... The responsibility of whether to close the roof is that of the stadium's hirer,
(and in our case it's the AFL who either make a decision on our behalf or we are consulted).
The leagure hire a match manager, whose job it is to decide what to do with the roof.
For the record, in the event of rain falling heavily and continuously during an AFL match when the roof is open, the roof will stay that way until the end of that particular quarter, when it will be closed, a procedure that takes exactly eight minutes.
Dome's communications manager Bill Lane. "We're happy to help all of our ground hirers with details about our fickle weather but in the end, it's up them to decide if the roof stays open or closed.
