RAIN, hail or shine, the roof will be open at Marvel Stadium.
Due to the coronavirus, the AFL will ensure the roof is open at all times in the interim to abide by new regulations set by the federal government.
There are now limits on gatherings of 100 people at non-essential indoor gatherings, but the number is 500 people for non-essential outdoor gatherings.
Following that, there's been several alterations to the start times for round one games.
