Arena Rule 7 has been revised to clarify that the arena roof structure and anything suspended from it is out of bounds.

RULE 7 - DEAD BALL

b. The ball shall be declared dead and play resumed with a bowl-in toward the nearer sidewall at the point where the ball was considered dead, but not closer than 15 yards from the goal:

(5) If the ball is driven outside or leaves the arena, or hits the roof structure or anything suspended from the roof structure, whether or not it bounces back into the playing arena.
