@MDot,LOL,but with how small the avatar pic is,the tower blends in with the city and the sky,You can barely see it!I think I may use it as my wallpaper for my pc.

NVM, Pete got it.

So based on that rendering the yellow bars and the space behind them will be open to the elements?

That's what I'm going to do.

Pete,I know that the three indentions will all have LED lighting,but will all three triangles of the crown have LED's?

My understanding is there is going to be a ton of LED lighting through the crown, not just the triangles or indentions.

Love the Sig club - been a few years since I was last there, but that is a fun place ! I recommend the Drake Hotel, nearby as well.
The Drake is where we stayed on our honeymoon.

no i don't know how you would come up with that idea from that pic ..

Here's a recent photo that shows good progress on the hardscape:

I wonder if I can have my wedding in the rotunda? I have been talking to my lady about it for a while and she finally agreed as long as the reception is at the Colcord or Skirvin. You can fit a ton of folks in there and it'd be awesome to have people on the upper floors looking down.

ed, I'm sure you'll be able to rent it out for after-hours events.

Leadership Square does it with their atrium all the time.

That would be so awesome.

If you can make it that you be the first one to get married, be sure to post the info on here and invite the photographers from here to document Devon's first wedding to post on here.

They had all the glass put in where the construction elevators were as of 3:45 this afternoon.

There is now a Devon Tower in Calgary,AB Canada,formaly the Canterra Tower,the 46 story skyscraper was renamed by Devon's parent company Devon Canada.http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=devon%20tower%20in%20oklahoma%20city&source=newssearch&cd=2&ved=0CDQQqQIwAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.calgaryherald.com%2Fbusiness% 2FCanterra%2BTower%2Brenamed%2Bafter%2Btenant%2BDe von%2F5835275%2Fstory.html&ei=vTb1TrPPAYH3sQLi_fmpAQ&usg=AFQjCNFKhK119YO8XmWNsZkZCYxE6EzKTw

The story of Devon Canada is very very similiar to the story of Devon Energy. Weird.

It's Devon's Canadian branch, IIRC.

^^Yea guy's I said that in my post and it's also in the link.Not a big deal,I just thought it was cool I guess.

For those of us who read your post and the link, we know. LOL and it is cool; there's a Devon Tower in Oklahoma City, a Devon Tower (apartments) in Pittsburgh, and now a Devon Tower in Calgary. There's another Devon Tower in Houston but it's called Devon Energy Tower (same difference); but for the record, I believe our Devon Tower's official name is Devon Energy Center.

I read that part of the article wrong, I thought it was Devon Canada that was spread out through 3 different buildings in Calgary before moving into the Canterra (Devon) Tower but it was Canterra and they built the tower to fit all the employees under 1 roof. Still ironically similar though. LOL

Merry Christmas to the both of you. =)

^^Man ohhh man you cant buy that kind of pr!Our city is starting to shine!

I like how the MBG tube is all lit up.....never noticed until the screen capture.

^^Man ohhh man you cant buy that kind of pr!

Precisely!

Let me see, I can identify NYC, LA, Dallas (home to defending world champs and Dirk or it might not have been there), Shanghai and OKC. What did I miss? Thanks again, KD.

Imagine that shot with the tower all lit up in Thunder colors!

We'll for sure be seeing that later in the season.

I wish we could "like" people's posts. Cuz I like what Pete just said.

Is Cheseapeake Arena photoshopped in that picture to leave out the construction on the southside of the arena?

I don't think so, if you look real close on the sw corner, you can make out an elevator shaft...it's a bit lighter in color and partially covers the second window left to right.

It's there. Hard to see though.

You can right click, view image to make it bigger.

It looks like it is in their, since the shots of the arenas are not impacted by the contract agreement for scheduling they might have been done before filming the players so could also have been earlier in construction.

Doesn't appear to be. Watching in HD you can see the mobile cranes and the steel girder skeleton of the new entrance. They are completely in the shadows though, which could be a post-production effect. Unfortunate for Chesapeake that the sign on the arena also wasn't lit in the shot. Looks like perhaps the same for Staples, but the American Airlines logo was lit up on the AAC, so doesn't appear that the logos were darkened on purpose.

^^Notice that the Crosses arent up either!That would make it late November or early December!Infact,it was probably done the same time KD did his paint the town Nike ad.

It was, my brother-in-law worked on both of them and he was telling us about working on both commercials at the same time.

It would have been filmed at the same time that the KD-only commercial from that same Nike "Spotlight" campaign was. Darnell Mayberry reported on the details of that commercial in late October (which made KD a little grouchy on Twitter), and it broke the first of November. So filming was probably done in August or September. I think there is some info out there regarding exactly WHEN, but I'm too lazy to seek it out.

Geez. Everyone is a step ahead of me. Not that that is any different than usual.

They were filmed October 21 & 22.

LOL, sorry. =(

I couldn't remember for sure when it was but now that you say that I remembered that he told us on my birthday which is October 25th. Good job Bellaboo. LOL

when is the grand entrance of the chesapeke arena going to be done?

Wow - incredible photo. Thanks for sharing it.

Lets go back in time...say 1997. South to North (left to right): Sears Tower, Conoco Building, John Hancock Tower. Chicago is probably my favorite big US city.

Cam-visible LED testing going on right now.

Does anyone know if they were testing the crown lights last night? We were at 63rd and May and the crown looked BRIGHT! Looked like a flashlight.

Look at it shine!

I doubt it. I live near there and from that view its just the worklights within the scaffolding from what I can tell.

Devon Tower had some of it's vertical lighting on last night after the Thunder game.

You probably need to put it on the public side of your provider's site. This is what I get following your link.


403. That’s an error.
We're sorry, but you do not have access to this page. That’s all we know.

Yeah, I got the same message! I wanna see the pic too!
