    Anyway, the site is getting slow to load, looks like they're getting a lot of traffic in viewing the progress of the lift.

    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

    My engineering buddy (scottie33) said they stopped it 5 feet off the ground to check the bolts and welds.

    Let's hope OSHA isn't watching. That "working under a suspended load" rule kind of applies here.

    Re: Let's all watch this erection together!

    Anyone know an estimated timeline for tonight's festivities?

    Any reason they are doing this at night instead of day? (I haven't followed this that closely, I apologize)
