We’ve been getting plenty of drone and LaGuardia shots, but not many exterior shots.

It definitely appears as if there are more beams to come on that side though. Maybe they’re saying the stadium won’t get any higher than it is now? Or you’re right this is purely theatrical and there are more beams to go and they’re just doing the ceremony today because the felt like it.

I am not by any means an architecture expert but I think "topping out" is the highest beam (i.e., at the top). Don't base your Final Jeopardy answer on that but I think that's what it is.

it's supposed to be the highest beam but also the last structural beam. the workers all refer to it as the "final beam" in the videos.

What beams aren’t structural?

If the beam isn’t holding up the structure, what it is doing there?

As long as it isn't Jim Beam.

Yuck. Awful whiskey.

I love these. So fun.

Also whoever shot this angle and whoever made the creative decision to include it, awesome. What an incredible shot!

It would be amazing to line at least one of the field walls with signs from the auto shops displaced by the Stadium project. Never happening but fun to consider.

1. Near the end of the guy walking across the beam, I still don't know how those people do it.
2. This image makes me wonder will the pennant from YS come over to the new stadium.
