The only thing I don't like about the windows is that you can still kind of see the original facade through them on the top level if you look closely, in person.

I just hope the same dumb questions are not asked by people as this is going up.
"Are there supposed to be gaps between the panels?"
"I hope they fill that in with something."
quote:There may be other smaller advantages, but speed is the main one. As soon as you bolt-up the members, you can start loading them. With cast-in-place concrete, you've got to tie the steel, set your forms, place concrete, allow concrete to cure, strip forms, lather, rinse, repeat for each floor/level. The concrete must then reach a certain strength before it can be fully loaded. All of this translates to additional days. With steel, the members are fabricated off-site and likely many months ago to try to get ahead of the erectors. The next crews can immediately come in behind them and start setting their deck forms and preparing the concourse areas for concrete. The main trade-off for this speed is $$$.
For the engineers, other than speed of construction, what are the advantages & disadvantages of using steel vs concrete structure?

Right now its the pannelung from the old zone exterior behind the glass. Pretty sure that will come down as they work on the zone interior

quote:The thought is that folks will use the new towers and escalators going in, but that all exits, including the old Zone ramps, will be available for exiting the stadium.
Doors at the base of the ramps mean they'll be used for egress.
Aren't there escalators in place now?
quote:They better be available for leaving. It took me almost 45 min to go down the SE ramp after the LSU game. People need to clear the ramps after leaving and not stand around to chit chat or look for the one person from your group that sat elsewhere. That could create a dangerous situation for people coming down the ramps that have escalators.quote:The thought is that folks will use the new towers and escalators going in, but that all exits, including the old Zone ramps, will be available for exiting the stadium.
