New entry on PLANit. North of the supposed VMC boundary, but rules are made to be broken. Mods, please feel free to fix the title if needed. Not sure I love the haphazard placement of the buildings, but hey, at least they aren't blue and grey!

From this past Friday, June 9th. West tower is working on the floor of level 26/35, and the East tower is working on walls of level 23/30. Notice in the last 2 photos, the podium is split. I'm assuming this to allow for expansion/contraction. Still, it seems relatively noticeable, and based on...

My (as always) very uneducated guess, is that those supports are made for 1-floor increments. But for the Mech. sections, they just stack a couple floors worth of supports in the spacing. No floor being poured, just how the supports are made. Again, I am just a guy with absolutely no formal...

My biggest gripe with the roof is usually the early part of the season. Obviously the technical requirements don't allow this, but in my perfect world, it would only be closed for rain. As for reorienting the field, my gut tells me the biggest problem with that is they would've needed to do...

Yup, or damn close to it! Then there would be a very sharp decline before it ramped up during the summer months. I used to love going to the games right after the home opener with like 7,000-9,000 people!

Even last year, the impact that bright lights with dispersion mirrors had on the 100 outfield seats was incredible.

Step-back? That's my very uneducated guess

A couple of hours later the first of the glazing appears... and let me tell you, it's even worse in person 😬

And lastly, from today, still brought to you by my new S23 Ultra (still wish I was sponsored, pretty please Samsung?). Starting from the east side and moving to the south/south-west side. The last picture tries to show the ramp that will eventually be the entry-level road for the towers and...

From today, still brought to you by my new S23 Ultra (still wish I was sponsored). "Brick" cladding is going on around the top of the podium. I'm personally colour-blind so take this with a grain of salt... It looks bland and greyed out in person.

From today, brought to you by my new S23 Ultra (still wish I was sponsored). First 3 pictures taken from the same spot. 2nd and 3rd were taken with the 10x telephoto lens.

Due to how the supports work, there is a floor with no corner columns every 5 (ish) floors. The floors just below the start of new V columns (sorry, I don't know the terminology) don't need vertical supports because theoretically, V holds up said floor/ceiling. Not sure if that made any sense...

Yup, 1 crane here. Rest of VMC only has 6 total right now (5 @ Festival, 1 @ CG Tower)

That's the rest of the bullpen. The platform is just the 2 pitching areas, the players for the most part will be underneath.

I've rotated the birds-eye view photo from the previous post, and it definitely matches the 'master plan' seen in the docs for the 6-storey 'office' building proposed. I've never seen this view of the site before. Very curious to see how this progresses in the future (and the # of parking spaces...

A good portion of this has been changed by now. The Office/hotel has been cancelled (or pushed way into the future), and the 'future retail' in front of the renovated main entrance has been switched into a 6-storey office building and a green space.

Mostly done with the podiums for the first 2 towers, so they should really start rising in the new year. Looking forward to seeing how different these look with their girthy floorplates compare to CG Tower's slender and tapered profile. It should be a fun next year in the VMC

These pictures remind me a lot of the concourse at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit

From earlier this afternoon. Once I got home, I realized my camera settings were a bit wonky (and by my camera, I mean my dad's). Sorry for the less than stellar quality photos. The curved glass on the podium for the 50 storey one, is phenomenal. The podiums actually look really nice up close...
