They are considering playing with an open roof, but the problem is that since they planned on having a roof, the drainage system couldn't handle a big rain without it turning into a lake.

Isn't the roof of Reliant some 260ft up in the air? Ike's 110mph winds are measured at ground level-up 260ft they would be considerably faster. Buoys were measuring, IIRC, 135mph winds at 122m when Ike was still a 105mph storm.
