Timelapse video from a fixed camera on a neighborhood rooftop, the city’s skyline hazy beyond. Earthworks carve the bowl; raker beams stand like ribs; precast seating tiers chain together in sweeping arcs. Concourse rings frame out; vomitories punch through; concession pods slide into place. A cable-truss crown tensions overhead as ETFE pillows inflate, turning the roof to a soft, luminous skin. Scoreboards and lighting rigs hoist into their gantries; turf rolls unspool and knit into a perfect pitch. Plazas pave, trees in planters dot the edges, gates swing on polished hinges. At first kickoff, the stadium thrums with light and sound, its roof glowing like a halo against the night.
