Let's all watch this erection together!

you lost me at swing it out to the side, that would mean they would have to move, but they are constrained by hillsides, building and field...

Sounds like they enjoy doing it in a very uncomfortable place.... like the back of a
Volkswagen.
 
I have 'The Voice' on TV right now and I can't figure out whether to watch the erection in progress or to stare at Christina Aguilera.

Perfect Buzz Killington photo placement.

Anyway, the site is getting slow to load, looks like they're getting a lot of traffic in viewing the progress of the lift.
 
Anyone remember what the total weight of the cross-piece was?



67,000 pounds is what I seems to remember, but I assume that is after everything is attached. 50,000+ as is, I would guess. Awkward, not heavy.


67,000 pounds turns out to be the weight of the scoreboard and sound system. Support truss is 357,000 pounds. Reminds me of a quote, "Samsonite!!! I was WAY OFF!"

So if someone wanted to watch, they should go now? I'm talking to my brother in Ames and he wants to know what time it's supposed to go up
