I heard from a lot of people in construction that once foundation is set, which takes the longest time, the rest goes up really quickly. So I can't wait to start seeing the progress!!!
I hope someone can set up a cam somewhere...

ha. if a camera setup was possible, i think someone would have done it already.
what are the chances someone can sneak a solar powered LTE camera on the side of citi field to capture the progress?
i think the club probably has a camera setup somewhere to take a timelapse of the stadium build and they'll share it some day. but who knows? maybe not.
it is absolutely very exciting. This time next year, they'll be laying down the sod and we'll be waiting for a drone tour.
I work in architecture and construction and generally resist this kind of timelapse camera on projects, even when the owners want to use the videos to promote progress and cultivate excitement.
As noted already, the foundation takes a long time without a lot of visible evidence, so the camera doesn't show much that builds excitement. Next, the steel and superstructure get erected, and the camera video shows LOTS of tangible progress daily- but that only creates false expectations for similar video excitement forthcoming. The final stages of interior fit-out and finishes are almost impossible to capture with an overall camera, and the daily timelapse of these final stages actually looks like nothing is getting done and creates more concern than excitement.
All of which is to say, a timelapse camera setup is possible, but it's a poor format for communicating actual construction progress and therefore building excitement and optimism for the stadium opening. The club should be sending out more announcements surrounding construction milestones, like they did with the first piece of steel installed. Communication focused on notable critical path achievements with some accompanying photos, instead of the hero drone cam, can be a lot more effective in building excitement towards the stadium opening.
