Found this picture on the FabriTec web site:

This is the first one I have seen where some of the arches point down and some point up.  Looks weird.  Not a big fan.

This is also a better look at the cabling that connects the crown truss to the roof and helps support it.  In this drawing, you can see that the hard shell part of the roof will be supported, at least in part, by the crown truss.  There are spurs off the main supporting cables that tie the crown truss to the PTFE section that connect to all the cables that support the hard shell.

I don't understand what all the lines on the PFTE are supposed to be.  Are they just lines on the fabric?

It looks at first glance as though there will only be supporting cables connecting the crown truss to the roof on the north and south ends of the building, but if you look close, you can see that this is not the case; the are on the east and west sides of the building as well.  They just didn't do the perspectives for the illustration properly and they are almost hidden by the spirals.

This makes me very curious regarding how they are going to get this in place.  If Pete Sala is right, they will have 2 months tops to get it all done (plus get the sound, lights, and scoreboard up).

It sounds very ambitious to me.
