To my eye, it looks like the underside of the grey pieces might be white foam...

Usually these panels are all inclusive...but since we have no blueprints who knows.

I try to keep up with this thread but sometimes I am missing some news. Who is doing the AC work from a vendor standpoint?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Hopefully Dino's defense has the same turnover rate.

Does this mean that the vents near the top of the Dome that were used to regulate the air pressure supporting the old roof will remain functional?

Ty Willingham read this tweet and felt vindicated 13 years after claiming wind in the Dome.

Nice picture, taken from a plane. I believe Rik Beardsley took it, and DCCuse asked me to post it.

3rd?
Hmmmm...

• I've been to Jerry World which is probably the largest traditional video board (160'x72' on the main sides & 51'x29' on the ends)
• I've also been to "The Benz" several times (Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta) which has the largest video scoreboard in the world (1075'x58' also by Daktronics)

Kind of hard to believe that The Dome would be the next largest...

The key is 4 sided

The key is 4 sided

The Dome: 62'x20'x4 = 4,960 square feet
Jerry World = 25,998 square feet (also "4 sided")
The Benz = 62,350 square feet

The Daktronics quote, as given, just doesn't compute.

Carlson/Sala/Daktronics should give some more context...

Cool. Do you think thin strips of what looks like grey corrugated metal might be used to hold the composite panels in place?

The more I see them put the grey strips in place, the more they look like they are meant to hold panels in place.

In fact, I think the part of the grey metal that sticks out might actually be the darker line that you can see separates the rows of panels in the Geiger drawings.

JMA Dome (formerly Carrier Dome) at Syracuse University | Geiger Engineers

The first and still the only covered stadium in New York State - is a 50,000-seat multipurpose domed stadium. Since its opening in 1980 it has served not only the university’s athletics department but also the campus and the greater Syracuse community through hosting a myriad of events. The...

I honestly can't say what they are, but they may be something like an expansion joint, or possibly something like a brick ledge or angle. I know that we are not doing brick, I don't want to get Michigan upset, but something similar, to carry the stacked load of panels,

That's a great pic. So the large Middle square part will be translucent while the outside part will be hard steel?

Daktronics probably wishes Pete Sala wouldn't speak for them on things like "quantitative measurements" or "superlatives."

So then I start thinking, "maybe they mean 4 sided center hung video/score board?"

- Golden State Warriors : 9,699 square feet
- United Center : 8,600 square feet
- Capital One Arena : > 7,000 square feet

There are likely others that are greater than 4,960 square feet.
Oh well...

How about this: "on campus" ?

How about this: "on campus" ?

Or, .."in CNY."

I think the width is impressive. The depth is not. My guess is they are only talking about width here.

Or "On The Hill".

Again, the statement "Sala noted Daktronics has told Syracuse the new four-sided video board will be the third-largest in the country.", as written, is inaccurate. Yeah, for journalism.

OK play by play - here we go again. It's past lunch time and the red crane op has what looks like a preassembled roof section? lifted and hanging over the Dome and there are three crew walking on the crown truss across from the LC crew up there to receive it. Also a flatbed rig with mysterious black parts has backed up Forestry and is parked there. The small crane on Forestry has now unloaded the black load and the flatbed has left.

Pretty sure the PTFE section will be brilliant white. Sounds like the hard shell exterior is going to be composite metal. Color is unknown.

If you believe the Geiger drawing, it will be a light tan color. But that drawing has the PTFE section colored light brown. So who knows?
