There's a steel cable net structure that basically lays on the field, lays over the seating bowl, and then once you get the compression ring in place, and the compression ring is expected to be in by next February,

And we can't miss that.

That is really a critical path.

Once you get the compression ring, then slowly you can raise that cable nut structure up to the roof.

And then to that structure is what you attach the roof structure.

That's a hard question to answer right now.

What I would say is this is different than other projects.

With new stadiums, a lot of times they'll discover things that were like unforeseen conditions.

We didn't know that there was environmental problems under the ground, okay?

And then early on in the process, and most of the unforeseen conditions in new stadiums are all subsurface stuff, okay?

So if we were building new, we would be through that, which gives you more certainty.

Because it's a renovation, and there's existing systems in the building that will be reused, some will be removed.

As I've said before, there are surprises around every corner.

If I gave you a number today, it'd be outdated a half hour from now.

I did say this a few weeks ago, and I'll repeat it.
