December Progress Update. Crane up and operational. You can see the "bowl" shape for seating beginning to form when looking at the ground in the first image.

Thanks for all the updates, Chris. Maybe put a space between your photos so they don't all run together? They look great though, I think this might be the project I'm most excited about in St. Louis right now.

Even if that's a crawler, it's a heck of a pretty crane.

drove by the stadium today. They are starting to put up the steel pillars!
You've been busy posting these permit updates! Nice to see.quincunx wrote: ↑Dec 12, 2020$205.5M building permit issued
Don't take this the wrong way as dirt/dust shows progress: but can we at least admit that right now the street blocks (even with sweeping and cleaning) are as messy as hell?
Ha, wait 'til they start demolishing and backfilling the Market St. bridge, and then we get several inches of snow and ice accumulation. Everything in Downtown West will be covered with brown road splatter and muddy slushcicles...dweebe wrote: ↑Dec 15, 2020Don't take this the wrong way as dirt/dust shows progress: but can we at least admit that right now the street blocks (even with sweeping and cleaning) are as messy as hell?
Looks like a Manitowoc MLC 300 with Variable Position Counterweight. A gem of a crane. 330 US ton capacity. 30 tons more than a 2250.Gary5071 wrote: ↑Dec 11, 2020manitowoc 2250 crawler crane.

Outline of new St. Louis MLS stadium begins taking shape

Within weeks, those passing by the site just west of 20th Street downtown, catty-corner from Union Station, should be able to discern the outlines of a stadium as crews finish placing the remaining steel beams, made by Hillsdale Fabricator, an affiliate of local construction firm Alberici Corp., in north St. Louis. The top of the stadium will be only about 40 feet above street level at the western end.
By late next year, the workforce on site should peak at about 800 people before trending down as the stadium approaches an August 2022 completion date, said Denver Callahan, senior project superintendent with Mortenson.
There have been few surprises on site — other than an underground spring, buried beneath two centuries of development.
"That's not uncommon in an urban setting," Callahan said. The spring water will be treated and redirected into the storm sewer system, he said.
Callahan said construction is on schedule in St. Louis and praised the quality of the labor force here, which he said is almost entirely local construction trades members. Work started in the spring, just as the pandemic hit the region, but Callahan said there has been no project-site transmission of COVID-19.

"We have really good compliance here."
And yet, most of the workers in that video are not wearing masks, while the two who are, aren't doing so properly, including the site superintendent...lol.

^I'm in the middle of the great plumbing debacle. Every contractor I've talked to has folks down with Covid just now. And I have to say, construction sites are often some pretty conservative places. I've wanted to spike radios constantly blaring out Hannity or Limbaugh. But being a rare artsy-fartsy theatre type on a large conservative jobsite with lots of old union guys doesn't really inspire one to pick fights. Of course they aren't wearing masks. Their lord and master told them it was someone else's problem and it would just go away. That only suckers wear masks and that shutting down would kill us all. (Ironically, non-union jobsites are usually better in my experience. More mariachi and less Limbaugh. Not better work, maybe, but better radio. Definitely more pleasant places to work. Maybe the solution is the trade unions recruit more immigrants and unionize a lot more jobsites. But . . . I do prefer non-union radio. A lot.)
There's a new rendering of the west side of the stadium on the StL CITY SC site :

why does it look so unimpressive from the outside, the entire stadium does.
IMO this is a build that will look 10x better when it's complete than the renderings show. It does utilize a somewhat newer parti of how a stadium should connect with the surrounding enviorment and I think if this is successful it will make or break the stadium design. Also, I really loved the underside paneling they will use for the roof, and yah roof is bland from the top but no one's seeing that.

Some of the design ideas in the soccer stadium are similar to some of the proposals in this SB Nation post about ballparks. The idea of a stadium open to its surroundings is the biggest one. I really do like that idea.
