I've been involved in consulting and assisting in designing sound studios when I first moved to Nashville. I have a fairly good grasp on acoustics and this is gonna be loud as ****. That corrugated material is going to bounce the noise all over the **** place.

Try going to a soccer game in Saudi Arabia. Now dat sh*t be hot.

Yeah...no thanks!

There was no breeze before they put the canopy up. Unless you sit in the nosebleeds.

And yes, Cincy in 2014 was the hottest sporting even I've ever been to.

FSU 2002, wide left, was brutal. They ran out of bottled water in the second half.

Try loading C-17 cargo jets in Kuwait. 120 average right now .

The NCState (Morris gw 65yd TD to Dorsett) and the Cincy games afterwards checked myself into a burn unit

I remember that NC state game. It was brutal. Heat was out of control

The school says they've sold 40,000 season tickets. If just those people show up, it'll be an improvement.

If they tarp off the endzones as projected for lesser games then 40k would look look just fine with some no shows and single game ticket buyers.

Being 60% full for the Wake Forrests of the world is fine, just cant have the 25% full for VT as it was for the Thurs game (national) 2-3 years back.

That Thursday game was raining hard as **** though. You know Miami fans aren't going to show up for that. That was a hella fun game to be at though, especially at the end when Denzel dropped a pick, did pushups, got a flag, and then got a pick like 3 plays later.

The Florida noon game was bad too. Luckily that was a white out.

I hope your right. Would actually begin to have some sort of advantage at Joe Robbie for once.

Looking like it's coming along. I do not envy the workers that have to be on the roof trying to get this thing finished. Hope the squeeze Dolphins ownership for 1.5X or 2X pay.

Stephen Ross is paying a hefty tab to get all this work done as fast as it's getting done. I think a lot of people get nervous when they see the amount of work that needs to be done and say "It'll never get finished in time". People are too used to dealing with government construction contracts where they take their sweet time because they're getting paid the same either way. A private contractor will work as fast and as many hours as you're willing to pay for. There's a reason why a massive undertaking like this project can get done in a few months but it takes 6 years to repair a lane on I-95.

There's no difference in contractor's perspective on time private vs. government. Only the contract time constraints and maintenance of people. They can get that lane of road on 95 done in 1 month if they could shut the whole road down.....waaay cheaper too. How long would it take to build the stadium upgrades if they had to work around people? The cost would dwindle the premium Ross is paying to get it done early.

Glad that my kids can have shade. I can care less bout cookin but the ladies and kids would be done by the 2nd half.

You forget that civil work is usually relegated to week night work. A private job, with the right money, can run 24/7, which is 189 hours a week while a civil job will only be able to work 5 nights a week for 6-8 hours. Lets say that totals to 40 hours a week (plus an hour each day MOT set), you are afforded less than 4 times the production of the private job. This is purely based on logistics, doesn't have to do with private vs. government.

This is not to say that the government knows what they are doing, they **** up everything they touch, but in this instance, private companies are completing the government work and there are typically hefty liquidated damages if they do not finish on time. Trust me, government funded civil jobs are on time WAY more often than private jobs.

189 hours in a week? No.

This is 100% totally untrue and laughable for your lack of knowledge.

Unless you are privy to the contract neither of you know. Are there incentives, penalties, cost plus, etc.?

That's true. But it doesn't take a professional contractor to see that this massive conversion is being completed in a relatively short period of time. I think it's safe to assume that's because Ross is paying a boat load of money, not because the contractor and his crew are trying to do him a favor.

 

[mianjomar]

stupid question but ... how do you get the cranes out of there?

Not stupid at all. I was thinking the same thing.

[De Pinga]

Because of that Cincy game, I can no longer reproduce. I could have baked biscuits next to my balls.

I heard from [MENTION=538]rokulika[/MENTION]'s girl that he has the same issues

He can bake biscuits next to his balls?

On that day he could've

The reports have already said crews are working 24/7 on it, which doesn't happen on state projects. Once they get the scaffolding up, the roof will go on fast and it will be ready enough anyway, to play games there. The roof is the most important part of the whole thing anyway, with shade and noise it will bring.

BOTTOM LINE

Irrespective of completion status, as long as the stadium is deemed safe (per all legal/regulatory requirements), the games WILL BE PLAYED there.

If at some predetermined time point before the first game (canes or Dolphins) project managers determine that the stadium will not be 100% completed by that game date, then logic would dictate that they will spend the remaining time up to the first game making sure the stadium is safe and habitable, while then spending whatever other time completing the project, bearing in mind that they will have time in between games to finish.l

Unless there is some unavoidable safety/inspection issue, all games will be played. It will cost a whole lot less for Ross, the dolphins, and the canes, to play the games in an incomplete/ugly/cosmetically deficient stadium than to move games.
