Why can't all construction projects move this fast?

Careful, there are those who will actually start thinking that now

[sooner88]

That looks as good as I could imagine. Rector is quickly approaching so a CO still seems really optimistic. I hope that they can make it.

I ran in to Jon Jenkins last night and he was telling me the sign would be going up today. The really cool thing about the first photo is that the letters will appear black in the daytime but will be white when the sign is lit up at night.

He's the same guy that just completed the restoration of the Tower Theater sign after the first company they hired decided they were in over their head.

Jon's a genuinely good guy and Dalmarc is a great local company... they do signs for Winstar down to small company's like mine. They should be at the top of the list for anyone needing a sign company. Great work and very reasonable prices...

Why can't all construction projects move this fast?

Because development projects are all different with different considerations. As far as actual construction, this is a very straight forward simple construction project.

Also, with a project like this the owners have a massive financial incentive to get done and open, as they have tons of shows already booked.

Therefore, they pay for tons of overtime and likely provide the contractors with incentives and/or penalties.

I often make my photographic rounds on Sunday mornings and every time I've been out at this site there are lots of people out there working. I've also seen people working inside there in the evenings.

Most the other projects don't even have people working on Saturdays.

I know. I wasn't really asking a question. I was just joking about how nice it is for a project to move this fast. I understand that different projects have all kinds of different challenges.

A tour inside the upcoming Criterion music venue in Bricktown | KFOR.com

If you watch that video, you'll see the inside is an absolute beehive of activity as they race to get ready.

You can see the sign from I-235, looks great - maybe could be brighter.

There will be a large marquee that is yet to go up as well.

[OKCRT]

This venue is going to be a Jewel IMO. I need to start ordering some tickets.

The good hits keep on coming.

[AP]

Now that is something I would go see. I listened to all of these bands heavily in high school.

Do you even TBS bro?

[shawnw]

This will be my third time TBSing

[OKCisOK4me]

The only show I've seen announced that I even have a clue who the artist is is Deftones. Guess I'm just old, lol.

[AP]

Do you even TBS bro?

Yes. Yes, I do.

I was excited for this project at first, but I must admit that I'm on the outside looking in on this one. I don't know if I'm too young or too old but I believe I've only heard of maybe 1 or 2 bands in this entire thread. Nonetheless nice to see another niche filled, but I guess I can still look forward to the shows at the "peak".

That's exactly what I thought. I'm either really young or really old, because I have never heard of any of these bands.

[OSUFan]

If you've never heard of any of these bands then I'm guessing a place the size of the Criterion was never really going to cater to the type of artists you listen to (and there is nothing wrong with that).

Oh geez, another show I have to go see with DB and TBS; I've already bought tickets for Ben Rector, Disclosure, and Glass Animals. The Criterion is taking all my disposable income.

Feeling all sorts of high school nostalgia seeing these band names. I saw Dashboard last summer when they were at the Zoo Amp. Chris Carrabba can't quite hit notes like he used to, but still a damn good show.

I am excited more about the venue than the bands because I really couldn't tell you who these bands are. I had heard of the Deftones but the others just go in one ear and out the other. I assume most of these bands appeal to the 25-35 yr old age bracket? I mean I'm not to old to Get Down though.

Will Guyutes have to shut down for this show? Or will they just be hosting the after party?

Okay, seriously? Lol. Deftones is not in the same category as all these other names I've never heard one iota about.... I'd say I'm old and the other two posters are young.

[OkieHornet]

surely you all have heard of gregg allman, right? of the allman brothers? he'll be there may 17.
