Chene Park Amphitheatre revamped the city of Detroit's river front with its unique design. Due to Detroit's wintry weather, a system was developed to help aid in the shedding of snow from the fabric panels during the winter months. The new methods introduced a "gutter-up stand" which inflates when it rains but has the ability to deflate and lay flat to lessen the resistance from the accumulation of snow.
Birdair architectural fabric membrane systems continue to transform concert facilities and similar venues into all-weather environments.
