There are a few baseball satdiums already with domes. These include Minute Maid Park, The Metrodome, Tropicana Field, and the Astrodome. All these ball oarks have a roof covering the whol field. There are occasions when the ball does get caught in the rafters but rarely ever happens.

So, I guess according to Troys answer, 200 feet would be about right for a baseball stadium. I cant see how you would need a roof like that for cricket. Crickets just cant jump that high. (just kidding)What would you do for a chicago cubs world series?
