What are those pipe looking things hanging from the roof cables? What's their function?

So you enter and have to go down to the concourse level? Interesting. Reminds me of the old Market Square Arena in Indianapolis.

As i understand it, different entrances for different sections of the stadium and if you go in the wrong entrance you might not be able to get to your section...

I would hope they would redirect you like they do at Dodger Stadium when both times I tried to enter at the wrong spot. Or same thing at AT&T Stadium in Dallas as only those that sit between the end zones can enter at the sides. If you sit on the end between the goal lines you must enter at the big pedestrian plazas.

One of my complaints about the Edward Jones Dump was that you had to take the escalators or stairs up to the concourse level from the ticket taking areas. Really poor design but that's what they had to do since it was an extension of the convention center.

They look to be parts of the trusses. The tops will likely get clad / welded with the steel rafters which are also the EFTE panel / grid support. Very unusual. No doubt the PE's (structural engineers) were burning their calculators at both ends coming up with that design.
The Oculus looks like it will hang from the trusses as well.

Typical truss config's...

Mr Sparkles photo makes me question the truss thing a bit more.

Brother, is that a lot of stadium for a football pitch. I would have been happy to watch them sitting on my lunch pail.

ConstructionCam 4K 5's Panorama - UltraHD view allows you to zoom in ridiculously close. From where the camera is positioned atop the 500 section, I can read the numbers on the forklift on the field on the opposite side of the stadium!
