Great picture. For some reason it makes me think of the ship at the beginning of Godzilla.

If you don't mind, I'm going to upload that to Facebook.

[OKCMacGruber]

Go right ahead.

My understanding is that they are working on getting the first 30 floors operational in a basic way and they will completely de-bug and do all the complex programming only after all the lighting has been installed in the crown.

[MDot]

Do you know when the lights for the crown will be installed?

[Pete]

The lighting in the crown can't be completed until all the windows are in and the structure is largely finished off.

I would guess 2-3 more months, then it's going to take some time to test, de-bug and program.

[MDot]

That's pretty reasonable IMO. Thank you.

Good. More than enough time for ESPN, or whomever, to capture it during the 2012 NBA playoffs.

[Dustin]

Are they going to have a lighting ceremony for the tower?

[Just the facts]

I love all the led lighting. It will make the area very visually stimulating. Downtown will look alive even if you are the only person there which will improve actual and perceived safety, which in turn will foster more pedestrians.

I just saw a really really cool Durant commercial that really showed off Devon.

Yes, we're familiar with it. Check out post number 8299. It's also been in other threads here.

It's possible we may see a holiday light display from Devon Tower, at least in a limited way.

Went to the barons game on friday night, it was too foggy to take a picture but they were testing the lights in the SE "groove" like it shows in the picture on last page. Looked good

Just noticed something when I went to tag where this video was taken in Google. They've updated their maps with Devon Tower. Not sure what the date is on it though, but you can see the top of the roof. Looks a lot better if you use the Google Earth option. Myriad Gardens looks amazingly different.

Yes, the image is from mid-October. We talked about it a little bit.

What's crazy is if you zoom in on that link, as you get to the higher magnification views it replaces the near-current satellite view with a view of the gardens and Devon site PRE-construction of any kind. It's a really weird before/after effect. At least it happened that way in my browser.

Let's please get off this subject... The cross thing has been discussed many times and is way off topic here.

I've seen the same thing happen in other locations. It must mean that they aren't totally finished in their updates or that they have a flaw in their system.

From that video, it proves that the light reflection we saw off the devon tower was, indeed, the giant video screen from the arena. go to the video where it is completely dark and look how the buildings keep getting lighter and darker. I can't believe that the video screen light can reflect to the buildings and all the way back to this persons camera

You can see the reflection on the Oklahoma Tower as well.

I noticed these things and wondered if anyone would too if I didn't point it out.

[Pete]

William, it's not that we don't appreciate everything you've already done...

But how about some new video???

Much has changed, particularly at ground level.

[UnFrSaKn]

Working half the day with Frontline to move into the new building takes up my one whole day off. Been doing that since early October.

Oh... and it's cold.
