Yes, great pics.  They certainly show that the PTFE section of the roof will be more visible than I was thinking yesterday.

You can also clearly see that they are laying down a cable/rope grid from the metal pieces welded on the tops of the arcs.  Not sure what that is all about but that grid is in place just about throughout the whole network of arcs.  Maybe it is there to help support the fabric?

[USER=1552]clayman32[/USER] has some really good pictures of the 2 lines of arcs that run east-west and north-south.  I think those are the ones with the big circles hanging from them.  At one point, I thought this was cabling for power or the center hung scoreboard.  But it looks like these are short, thick cables that are not connected to each other.  They look almost like giant ear rings right now.  I have no idea what they are.

Was also intrigued by one picture Clay took of a black box like device that was being brought up to the roof.  Anyone know what this is?  It looks like it might have electronics in it.  I was thinking maybe a controller for the lights or the sound system?  I can’t imagine it would have something to do with AC up in the roof.

I think [USER=5058]NJCuse97[/USER] suggested they might be installing something to help melt ice along the border between the PTFE and hard shell sections of the roof.  My best guess is that this box has something to do with that.  Maybe a boiler to heat up water?
