Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 3414061, member: 27"] This is the last Pete Sala had to say on the subject: [I]“Well, I think that we’re hoping, the way the schedule is laid out now, mid-July you should start seeing that next part of the roof going on, the actual structure,” Sala said. “That needs to go very quickly in order for us to start hanging lights and sound and video underneath it. That is really scheduled tight.” [/I] You can see all sorts of activity going on with cranes in the dome floor. That last overhead shot of the dome floor that was provided showed what appeared to be a staging of the cables needed to support the roof. I am almost sure they have run a bunch of the cables that will eventually tie the new cable based roof to the crown truss and it appears they are continuing to do this now. If past Pfeiffer projects are any indication, the cables will go up all at the same time. It has to be a lot easier to get everything just so on the ground and then lift it into position. This setup might be more complex that some of the others we have seen. I can't imagine they will raise the cables and not start building the roof immediately afterwards. So I am thinking they will continue to stage the cables, maybe wait for some delayed materials, get the staging done in mid July, raise the roof cables and start building almost immediately. That will give them about 2 months to build the roof, install the power, install the lights, install the sound system, install all the bench seating*, install the center hung scoreboard, take all the 'water proofing' that was installed in the spring off, reinstall new field turf, etc. I know they planned to do some work on concessions and bathrooms. Not sure if they has already started or needs to wait until the roof is installed. It is going to be a really intense period from mid July to mid September. Anyone else getting a bad gateway error when trying to open the site for the Link Hall camera? It appears it is down. Hopefully only for a litte while. I would miss the [USER=469]CuseLegacy[/USER] sunset screen captures from there a great deal. Lastly, Skylar is almost gone now. Happy trails, wherever you are headed next! *=maybe not all the seating will be installed de to COVID [/QUOTE]
