All I'm getting is still photos. not a problem, but i don't get how this is going to work?

The cranes appear to be in between the supports and the video board structure. How the hell are they going to put it in place?

first they're going to swing it out to the side, and then kinda slide it in at an angle before they straighten it out and drop it into place.

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...

The crane base won't move. They'll lift the structure, like they were going to move it and set it down straight east of where it sits. But instead of setting it down they will take the West end of it and move that side between the cranes so it is diagonal between the cranes. Then it will slide past the 2 cranes leading with the west end until the back clears the other crane and they can rotate it back to east to west.

Think of how you'd move furniture around a tight corner, only different, and with a major erection.

Can someone stream what they are seeing on the webcam for those of us that can't log in to watch?

I found it easier to just open this in its own window then refresh every minute or so.
