All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Final Aud Roof Trusses to fall today

06-06-2009, 01:22 AM

It's not quite the end, but it's getting closer to the day when the old Memorial Auditorium will be nothing more than a million memories.

A spokesperson for the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation tells 2 On Your Side the final Aud roof trusses are expected to fall Saturday morning sometime between 10:30 A.M. and 12:30 P.M.

You can watch a live webcam of the demolition by clicking here.

This is not the final demolition activity at the site, according to ECHDC spokesperson Matt Davison. The Aud's south wall is expected to removed in mid-June.

Re: Final Aud Roof Trusses to fall today

I have great memories of the Aud going back to when I was a kid in the '50s. But it was a rat trap, and HSBC is so much better.

Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

what's really depressing is that the city allowed the Aud to rot for 15 years. What's really depressing is that the city took so long to figure out what to do with such a prime piece of real estate. What's really depressing is even once it's out of the way, the idiots in charge will probably find a way to screw it up and not get any benefit out of the old Aud site.

So, you think it was a good idea for the city to allow an historic arena on waterfront property to decay to the point where it was too toxic to enter without a mask?

About the first part that is! The second part is wrong. I walk down to canal side almost every day and it's beautiful down there already. I really think they'll take care of business this time and finish it right. Should be done by 2011

Considering the Aud's smell before they even stopped playing in it, I'd imagine it didn't take long at all.

You are if you are saying nothing is being built in that area when millions of dollars of development has taken place in the last 3 years.

I'm saying that given the city's record with lack of speed and lack of effectiveness in previous revitalization efforts, there is good reason to doubt that they can pull it off.
