A Crane has arrived!!

I wish I could see it, every time I've gone to look at it the past couple days I haven't been able to see it.

So what are they putting together right now? I thought it was only going to be one tier of metal supports, not three.

Yes it is. That florescent green blip on the corner is a man.

When I saw the renderings I didn't really grasp just how HUGE this thing was going to be. That is going to be one impressive structure when it is completed. The students out in the grass lots south of the stadium will be able to enjoy HD quality replays while they tailgate during the games.
 
WOW that thing is HUGE!

I'm real curious how they are going to lift that up onto the support legs. I imagine they wouldn't want heavy equipment on the football field itself. The hillsides don't allow for much space to lift it from the sides, and the cranes wouldn't be able to lift it up over themselves if they stayed in the middle. Thoughts?

That's why it'll cost $5 million to put up the video board. The actual scoreboard costs only $1 million but it to build a crane big enough to put it up will cost $4 million.
 
Hopefully this doesn't happen to the Jake:

Actually, you're not that far off. Pollard told a group of us that the installation and support structure cost nearly as much as the video board itself.
