Summary  As for the structural design of the stadium cantilever roof structures the wind load is more dominant than the seismic load. For special shapes such as stadiums, wind load distribution is generally evaluated by wind tunnel tests using a scale model. The following theme for the structural planning of cantilevered stadium roofs have not yet been shown accurate results, that is, a simplified wind tunnel tests method, an influence on the building wind load on the windward, and the effectiveness of CFD analysis methods. In this paper, these themes are analyzed by each wind tunnel tests and CFD analyses.
