A few pics of new stadium 7-15-07 *DUW*

[Hostile]

Weren't the plans made public since it is being partially funded by the taxpayers?

Some of the drawings were. I bookmarked them at home. There's a lot more than just those drawings though.

Those are some of the closest pics I've seen of the stadium. It's going to be great. Thanks for the pics.

Thanks for the great pics, Warick. I love seeing how this new stadium is coming along.

that 7th pick seems like it's missing a support beam....

I love construction sites. They're alive and breathing things that rise around you. As a structure is going up you almost begin to feel the soul of the place coming to life. I tried to get a job with the Construction Company building that stadium, but they already had their team in place. It would have been magnificent to watch that thing grow day by day. The speed with which they are doing this is beyond impressive to me.

I'd love to be able to spend some hours just looking at the blueprints. Architects drive me nuts sometimes, but the guys who drew that are some I'd like to meet. It would be interesting to me to read those prints and get a feel for the project. I'd have loved that.

That's what I was thinking. The speed that is going up is breath taking. In one picture, I counted 11 cranes. The GC must be getting a huge bonus to finish it on time.

Does anyone know how many General Contractors there are on this project?

I'm sure they have to work double time to make for lost time from the flooding. There's probably some clause requiring them to finish by x date, and/or a penalty clause if they don't.

Only one General Contractor...Manhattan. They might have several subs though.

I went by there today and I still don't know where everyone is going to park on game days. It is alot different from Texas Stadium. TS is all by itself between highways and the new stadium is right in the middle of businesses and homes.

That is going to be one fiiiiine looking stadium.

Not surprising. If a company can handle the load, it can be delegated.

When the Bobcats Arena was under construction, they actually had two GC's.

What an awesome structure being created!

good point. you'll likely see shuttles with 6-flags on gameday since it's "fall" and they're not as busy. or with the ballpark sharing their parking and shuttling people around.

my guess anyway but it does make you wonder. i'd imagine there's "underground" parking for the VIPs.
