they're being very sneaky.  every time I check out the webcam, there's more steel, but I've never seen them actually put a piece in place, or actually even seen anyone around the area working.

If you really want to know, I don't see any diagonal bracing (yet anyway), meaning they are probably building moment frames, which require a hilarious amount of welding.

Unless the moment connections are shop welded and field bolted, or they are SidePlate connections

Saw this last night.  This thing is going to be awesome.  2003, 2012 Big 12 Champions should look pretty elite on the face of the WSC  :cheers:

Or maybe they will move the flags to the top of the castle.  Auburn had a flag for their 2003 "national championship."

or do you think they give guys crane rides?

just beat me, thanks for the pickup, since I had lost the thread.

I think its a cool concept.  I would love to see our  current video board duplicated and put to the side so you  could see the windows of the Ahearn facade.

Agreed.. Would be an epic backdrop from field view on the football field. Really would close in the space and give more scale to the facilities.
