Saw lots of people working.Talked to someone who worked for the electrical contractor. He said new scoreboard install starts 27th. Cameras will soon all be off as they transition electrical source from a temporary terminal to the stadiums internal electrical source. Elevators have already been installed!!. Did not know that. seating on east side stopped due to shortage of one piece of tread. Additional tread to arrive this week.
You can't see this from the cameras, but there are about 26 pairs of speakers hanging from the second level, near ribbon.
He admitted finishing will take to the last possible minute and work will go on for as long as 3 months, doing punch list work.

Talked to a friend of mine a week or so ago who was working on door jams. He said because of all the constant changes up to the last minute (and continuing past that minute), just about every interior prefab piece was incorrect as far as where doors/passage ways were. New openings had to be cut and some openings closed up. I'm wondering what else was affected and had to be tweaked on site due to all the changes. I know it's not an issue and was expected by them, but was just interesting insight.
