For one thing, they can't put vertical supports near the middle if the dome. The bases would be on the middle of the field.
They could probably do trussing, but that would cost much more & would probably affect sight lines.
A third option is a twin dome and the ability to blow very hot air in the gap to melt the snow before weight got excessive. Seems like that would be really expensive, too.
