not sure from the aerial view but looks like the roof work has slowed down, but looking forwards to Chris's video as looks like the east stand has a lot more panels done at the south end

Not too much obvious work on the roof this week, like inserting the last remaining roof cassettes. But if you look at the cam on the roof they seem to be doing work on filling in the gaps in between each cassette.

Not sure why you got a 'WTF'? If it was 'fat thumbs' they either meant to disagree or doh! you. Again, not sure why? (Unless they have REALLY big thumbs and went to hit like :sneaky:)

Maybe those gaps left out on purpose to allow craning materials into the stadium . I read previously that’s why windows were left open ?

I probably didn’t explain it well enough. By filling in the gaps, i meant the small slither of space in between each section. You can see when the sun shines, long narrow lines of sun breach through the gaps into the stadium. I don’t know the technical terms, but they are doing some work to make it watertight I guess. (Highlighted with thick pen)

Obviously there are bigger gaps where the cassettes have yet to be installed. (Thin line)

The crane was dropping something through the space where a cassette was missing the other day. Think they just still need access in a couple of areas.

I am thinking they must have had some NFL reps out to check on the field - so now that is out of the way, they will rip up sections to roll the turf out.

But, there are still two cranes inside the stadium on the north side - I assume the pitch won't be rolled out until the cranes are no longer needed.

The roof still missing bits of glass that’s probably what the cranes are still there for?
Was told on Wednesday by mace that the pitch was coming out on Thursday
