Longspan tensile roofing structures by Birdair remain a popular stadium design choice. Birdair's innovative steel compression ring design offers ample roof support, eliminating traditional post and beam supports that can impede sight lines. Examples of Birdair tension ring design include Hongkou Stadium, Shanghai, China, HSH Nordbank Arena, Hamburg, Germany, and Rome Olympic Stadium, Rome, Italy.

Retractable roofs serve as another increasingly attractive choice for stadiums and arenas and works particularly well in warm and humid environments where it can be closed to accommodate air-conditioning or opened to promote fresh airflow.

Stadiums and arenas utilizing Birdair tensile architecture additionally benefit from natural sunlight that penetrates the interior, promoting optimum daylighting while considerably reducing electric lighting requirements.
