Doesn't seem ideal to play at the Practice facility. #tight quarters

Does lighting and camera set up meet TV requirements?

Maybe Coyne Field?

Is 6 weeks for roofing when the framing started? Seems ambitious.

 

[kcsu]

It doesn't seem possible to complete the schedule on time.

Yes, the 6 week schedule is for building the roof, starting with the frame. That started on time, 3 weeks ago.

The company is very confident they are going to make the deadline. I hope they do.

The new ACC schedule bought them an extra week, which will help.

I was thinking how fortunate it is that construction was well underway prior to covid. Also the decision to keep the stadium on campus and enclosed.

Agree about the practice facility. Look at these photos - does this look like enough room for each team on the sidelines? Plus no coaches boxes. But hopefully it's a non issue

It would certainly give you a close up of the game. They could play at a local Hs or college too. We might actually get to sneak a peak.

Funny to finally see that link here. Maryland’s Cole Fieldhouse facility should be on that site as well if you want to poke around.

 

[hoopsupstate]

They've pretty much disassembled #5 and are trucking away the pieces. RIP.

Why can’t they just move the crane on the southeast end of the stadium?

Isn't the roof not high enough for punting anyway? I seem to recall a story about Riley Dixon (maybe?) having to practice punting on the outdoor practice fields because there were many parts of the indoor practice field that he would hit the roof from if he punted from there.

My understanding is that the company responsible for installing the roof was given 6 weeks to get it done. There is a substantial penalty for them if they miss that deadline.

They are just finishing week 3 now. They have made great progress to date and feel they are about 1 week ahead of schedule. But the bad crane is an issue. The problem with it is a bad motherboard.

I was told the blue fabric up on the roof is indeed PTFE. They can’t do any electronic work until the facility is water tight and are very anxious to make that happen.

Looks like they have a couple of flatbeds lined up right now to take the bad crane away.

Why don't they just have a new motherboard ship NDA via USPS? That would get here really quick.

In regards to the Syracuse weather and its role throughout this 'tight' construction schedule, it has been dreamlike. First, the significantly mild winter, followed by a spring & summer that has been basically ideal, if not perfect. I don't believe the weather could've been any better/cooperative relative to getting this project completed on time.

 

[Qbobby]

For sure. All in all you couldn't have hoped for weather like we've had for the past 6 months or so.

 

[upperdeck]

they can just go to cornell/ithaca/cortland/colgate or any other college field that isnt being used in the area

Would be better off on the soccer field

I’m watching my daughter play volleyball right next to the Amazon site. These guys are flying. I wish the roof job went this quick. I’m watching beam after beam fly though the air.

New construction is always easier than renovation, especially when it is basically just a big square box.

Gore-Tex is a brand of expanded PTFE (ePTFE), a material incorporating a fluoropolymer membrane with micropores. The roof of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, US, was one of the largest applications of PTFE coatings. 20 acres (81,000 m2) of the material was used in the creation of the white double-layered PTFE-coated fiberglass dome.

Articles > Using PTFE Glass Cloth

Written by Architen Landrell on 10th March 2010 in Materials

PTFE (Teflon) coated glass cloth has become established as the highest quality architectural membrane for tensile structures. The material was developed by DuPont in the 1960s and has been used for structures since the early 1970s. The original 25 year design lifespan of the material has already been exceeded by the earliest structures, and present day expectations are for 30-50 year lifespans.
PVC coated polyester had been used as an economical alternative to PTFE cloth, typically achieving savings of 50-70 per m2 on construction costs. The lifespan of PVC coated polyester is typically 15-20 years.
Each fabric is available in various strength ranges, and selection is primarily an engineering-based decision. The thicker fabrics have tensile strength of 150kN per metre, while the lighter grade fabrics have tensile strength of 75-100kN per meter. The heavier grade fabrics have light transmission rates of 9-12 %, while the lighter grade fabrics allow 14-16%

Thermal performance
The insulative properties of PTFE coated glass is similar to the performance of conventional glazing. The equates to a U value of aprox 4.0 5.0 for a single layer membrane, and 2 2.5 for a twin layered membrane. Twin layered membranes have a light transmission level of approximately 50% of a single skin structure.
Insulted sandwich systems have been developed by Architen to achieve very high levels of thermal performance. These equal the highest standards achieved by well insulated conventional construction, equating to U-value of 0.2
Solar Performance
The typical characteristics of single skin tensile fabric roofs to sunlight are approximately 75% reflection, 10% absorption and 15% transmission.

Fire Performance
All Teflon coated glass cloths are inherently non-flammable and achieve Class 1 in surface spread of flame testing and class 0 performance in BS476 pt6 Fire Propagation tests.
Life
PTFE is actively bleached by UV light, which had the effect of maintaining a bright white appearance in the long term. The Teflon coating provides a chemically inert layer which resists the build up of environmental pollution. The material had been extensively tested both in the laboratory and out in the field and no degradation or loss of strength is observed. The material does not become brittle or discolour over time. It is anticipated that the material has a life in excess of 30 years.
Acoustics
As lightweight material with limited mass, PTFE fabric roofs are acoustically relatively transparent, but provide a degree of absorption and noise attenuation. The inclusion of an insulted layer greatly enhances the acoustic attention of a tensile roof, particularly for mid to high frequency noise sources. This is particularly helpful for lessening the ringing reverberant in din that can affect courtyard and atrium environments.

Cleaning
PTFE coated glass roofs are extremely low in maintenance due to the cleaning action of rain on the Teflon outer layer. Typically, cleaning is recommended every 2-5 years, depending on the location of the structure and its exposure to environmental pollution. The fabric is sufficiently strong to support a mans weight on its surface, so cleaning simply requires the incorporation of man-safe systems to access the roof surface. Cleaning us usually by means of jet-washers, soft brushes and water with a mild detergent. PTFE roofs do not need to be cleaned internally.
Weight
Single skin PTFE roofs typically weigh 1.5kg per m2, and thermal sandwich roofs typically weigh 3.5kg per m2.

Membrane Panel size
Tensile membranes can be manufactured to virtually any size and shape up to 1600m2 in a single panel. The membrane is made up from seam welded sections which are laser-cut into precise patterns. PTFE fabric is usually seamed at widths of 1.5m to 2.5m, with virtually no limit in length. Spans exceeding 60m are achievable, although rare, and potentially requiring reinforcement with structural cables. Fabric panels are pre-assembled in controlled factory conditions and packed for deployment in situ. A 200m2 panel will typically weigh approximately 300kg, and may be lifted into position by a modest crane.

Sound Performance

Tomcat: Sound and PFTE Increasing Sound and Decreasing PFTE can do both

Generally, when people think of a tensile fabric structure the acoustic properties is something which skips the mind but in actual fact the addition of fabric can alter the acoustics within a space.

Specialist acoustic meshes have been developed and can be added internally to absorb sound waves and reduce acoustic reverberation, depending on any other requirements of the fabric these can be small suspended structures such as kites or rafts, as tensioned screens or as wall and ceiling linings.

If drastic acoustic improvements are required specialist acoustic quilting can be added behind the fabric.

An acoustic layer can be included in a multi-membrane system which will enhance the acoustic properties of an exterior tensile fabric structure, this can improve (or reduce) the levels of sound within a space, depending on the client’s requirements.

Another option is to clad trussing with a tensile fabric membrane to improve acoustic qualities. The Soundforms structure is a mobile performance shell which was designed to project the sound out towards the audience. Therefore the fabric used to clad the structure was chosen very carefully to ensure it met with the client’s requirements.

I was watching some of the workers today, working on the section adjacent to the section with the bluish gray underlayment. If you squint just right it looks like they have started putting down the bluish gray underlayment on that section also.

Confirmed. There is definitely an under layer started in the northeast corner.

I think they might this going in the southeast corner as well. Too dark to tell for sure.

I actually thought that was what they would do, before bringing in #5.
