Two more lengths of the long white steel tubes that appear to be part of the top ring of the crown truss arrived this morning and have been stored.  These were placed in a different area parallel to Irving Ave.

I think they are shorter than the first three.  I am thinking these things will correspond to the distances between the support columns for the stadium and there will be 32 of them, matching the 32 support columns.

The distance between most of the support columns is the same, and shorter than the first 3 of these to arrive.  I think the first 3 are going between the columns that span the 8 'corners' of the Dome, where the diagonal walls meet the walls that run north-south or east-west.  Since they were the first to arrive, I suspect they will be the first to go up.

I found a tidbit on the schedule in a DO article from last month.  It says the crown truss is expected to be completed in January.  So they are apparently going to be putting this thing together in very tough conditions.

That timeline makes a lot more sense.  Heck, I don't see where any of the temporary brown steel for the west side/south west side of the stadium has even arrived yet.  They have a ton of work to do.
