Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 3420569, member: 6809"] NJ, tomcat, Texan, Otto and interested individuals : here is my reply to Dave Campbell sent last night about 9 P.M. I haven't seen a reply yet but by my text I think he'll get the idea that we need a camera inside: Dear Dave, Thank you so much for your expeditous reply. It was revealing to me that the names of things in the construction industry are created "on the job" if you will. I was calling them hoops - how ridiculous. Now that I know that they are steel tube arches also known as fabric arches I feel educated and have already copy pasted your information for everyone on syracusefan,com where we have been following this historic project from November. I hope we will be able to view some of the roof construction once the cable truss is pulled into place. However the camera which was fine for the exterior for which I was the play by play person for the project isn't there for the interior. We asked and told Mr. Sala that this was a project that well over a thousand people watched and followed daily with great interest finalizing in the placement of the keystone girder and would he consider an interior camera for the next phase, the interior? For which I received a curt reply from his assistant that there would be no camera. So, all haven't been able to follow anything aside from guessing from what was going into the Dome/Stadium or watching the upper booms of the cranes inside. Perhaps it's a legal issue? I really have no idea but it is preventing many people from enjoying, being informed and watching history taking place. I want to thank you for the information provided by you which gives us the name, how the arches will be attached and a time frame. And, for taking the time to involve yourself in our world of which each of us were referred to as "craniacs" due to the huge 580' crane we named Walt that did the lions share of work on the crown truss. Truly special information you returned. Sincerely, Bill Phillips SUID '68 [/QUOTE]
