The crown truss will hold the roof up.

I am referring here to a specific video I believe [USER=469]CuseLegacy[/USER] posted on how Pfeifer, who is involved with this project, started the process of building the roof at Olympic Stadium in London.

It is a much different design (the roof at Olympic is circular and even a full roof), but if they are staging cables on the floor in a similar fashion, it would seem likely will are going to bring them all up at the same time, using a similar process.

This is probably the biggest mystery in the whole phase 1 process.  We are all wondering how the raising of the roof will get done.  Will it be piece meal?  Will all the cables come up at once?  Only a subset?

As an aside, it looks like they are detaching the cables for the back stay over Gate B, the one the camera on Lawrinson points at directly.  The west wall is now clean of back stays.  The south just has the Gate B one and the one it is attached to left.  I can see at least one on the southeast diagonal wall.  There are a few more on the north wall and the diagonals it attaches to and we are done.  Well over half way complete with the back stay removals now.
