What?! And reward others' laziness for not supporting Cyclone athletics?!?!?!?



That's a good point. We will leave that seat open as a testament to your own failing, but without rewarding some lazy failure. At least you're making the effort to make a choice. :smile:


Yes, provided you don't block my view and require me to stand.

I believe that this guy will stand when he's told. If not, we will start thread after thread until he complies.

Well it's been confirmed, the rumors may stop........the seat backs haven't been install yet. Good investigative work by the camera man. Now, lets get back to the action!

Well, don't let this get around, but I've heard that before they install the scoreboard, they're going to be re-painting the bleachers.

Light bulb changes? Exciting! I haven't seen one of those since I bought those efficient 5 year life bulbs 2 years ago!

I caught the football team heading in the side of the Jake. Now the controls are locked though. Need a username and pw to control it.

I sure hope they can get this thing picked as early as possible in the morning that daylght allows! Looking at the remaining days of the week and the comment that it neds to be less than 8 mph wind speed for a couple hours...tomorrow morning looks like the best time and anything after it wouldn't be picked til next week due to the forecasted wind speeds! I'm seriously thinking about heading up there at 6 am and watch the lift til 730 and then head to work for the day

How will they lift the cross beam up, because it looks like it would hit the crane on the west side. Looks like it will be a difficult erection.

They'll angle it in there. Someone did an mspaint kinda thing earlier in the thread.

Kinda sucks that they had to go and put a password on the webcam. There were idiots for sure, but now we cant zoom in on the areas that work is being done on. Also looks like some of the autoiris\autofocus settings got turned off, so starting to see some lighting issues.

IT WILL BE EPIC!!!

One crane will take its end in towards the field, while the other crane brings its end towards the Jake and the then they will slowly get the structure moved to the north side of each crane as it straightens back out to set on the supports

I just hope they get this thing erected before Friday night. In my experience with erections, they become more difficult to get done when the weekend hits.
