[QUOTE="BillSU, post: 3523005, member: 6809"] Back in November this was just a dream - how are they going to accomplish what Geigers rendering looked like by the following September is what it seemed Slowly things began to arrive. Eighty truckloads or so of something that was going to be put together and become one of the largest Cranes in the world from NC what a drive! But, this board began to watch through the Snow and Salt of winter and believe when they saw a LIVE CAM showing them this crane its boom was so high it was out of the picture and we named it WALT Things began to grow - X braces, then columns and girders truck loads of them continually arrived from Montreal. There's no way that girder is going to sit on top of those spiral columns but the crew was off to the races Placing each column just right, it all began to come together - one column, two, a girder, another truck full of columns, another truck with a girder and then there was WALT making it all come together with all his might This board was very grateful and amazed when viewing the last girder sliding into place complete with Christmas tree, American and SU flags on April 20, 2020 - a complete Crown Truss we were all in a daze No sooner than the Truss was complete than work began on the ROOF and despite the lack of an interior camera the know it all's on this board could lead us through everything each day making such a fuss Cables strung across the Dome jacked tight, then steel and more steel a weaving of wires going everywhere, the hard shell, the softer shell, tension membrane fabric- ptfe-coated fiberglass fabric, huge arches attached to the cable truss as if by magic until we saw crews hanging like spiders but attaching everything so it became a solid roof bleaching in the sun just right And today it was revealed - one of the largest scoreboards in THESE UNITED STATES along with new turf gleaming green a newly seen Dome with that new car smell – it almost seems unreal. Am I Happy, very!!!! Congratulations to everyone. Members of SYRACUSEFAN.COM, contributors, visitors and lurkers to all who shared this historic project - discussing, observing, arguing, complimenting, sharing, discovering. There were sad days and happy ones and we're just beginning a new phase. Maybe it will be the discussion of lighting AGAIN or HOW WE COULD HAVE DONE IT BETTER! It should have been a bigger board than So Fi. And so it goes. But it would not have been possible if not for the Admins. In particular the man himself, SUTOMCAT and LADY CUSELEGACY. Don't know how they move around all the sports discussed here so quickly but they do AND they are both Kind and Generous with their time and information. Thank you to you and everyone who responded to my play by play - you are all great! Can't wait till we begin a new chapter tomorrow! :) [/QUOTE]
