Thanks for posting @Avenger.

Hey @Twizzle, In the last photo, you can now clearly see the two support points at the rear of the stand for the roof trusses. That cantilever is HUGE!!!! And yes, the roof trusses are just bolted to the supports. I'm unsure if any additional welding takes place.

I'm with Strider. I'm going to get my tickets in the back row of the top deck.

Your job will be to hold it in place while someone does up the big bolts

I know you were joking but they were joining those gaps up with separate pieces of steel the other day.

Is that where the roof ends or will it have a section that retracts into the white section in the end?
Images of completed stadiums shows it nearly covers bottom tiers as well no?

The roof drip line goes all the way to the front of the bottom tier.
Obviously, if it's windy and raining, certain rows will still get wet, but it's as much coverage as they can give to be honest.

Love a good cantilever.
