Steel going up at the BOK Center

[TheArtist]

"Wow. I mean, really - wow."

"You guys aren't going to believe the size of this thing when it's done."

"I was rather struck by the angle of the beams. Pretty dramatic."

"I knew it was going to be larger, but thats looking larger than I thought."

"It will be impressive once it's completed."

"The steel really does look like it's making a massive structure even more massive."



Its amazing the level of beautifully crafted and expressive descriptions one finds on this site lol. []

Great pics, brother. It makes me proud to see hardworking Americans making a living wage to do the so called "jobs Americans won't do". Keep up the good work! United we bargain, divided we beg.

Here's a few of my pics:

Really cool pictures. I wish they let the general public in there to take pictures, fear of heights aside.

Fear of 12% workmans comp rates (stupid Oklahoma workers comp laws).

Are those metal "skin" samples hung up on the west side of the arena today?

The latest report has some cool pictures of the site from on top of the Williams Towers and some from around the site itself.  Gives a good perspective IMHO.

Does the above mean that the public may attend if it fall under the open meetings act..?

There's been quite a bit of visible progress since that last pic.

I know Average Joe is going to enjoy this statement........the folks at vision 2025 are going to need to zoom out on the arena cam, you can't see all the things that are going on because its gotten bigger.

Went by there today. You can see the frame for the curtain wall which is enormous, as well as the support structure for the tallest part of the building (the sail immediately behind the glass wall.)

So for those wondering how tall it is going to be, go take a look.

Reminded me to post the pictures that I took of it last week:

Yeah, there is the peak right there.

I guess I never fully understood just how massive the glass wall was going to be.  Then I stopped by to take the pictures and *BAM*!

This place already looks fantastic and will definitely stand out (at least architecturally) against other arenas (though KC's is pretty unique, too).  Thank God it's no Ford Center. [}:)]
