Devossed, I am just telling you what I heard from my friend who works there everyday, he is realiable source and a close friend with no reason to bowl crap.  You can dismiss what I say if you would like, but if you talked to the same people, I think you might get the same answers.  You heard it here first, the first game for Hope WILL NOT be at the DeVos, unless there is a miracle.

From what I could gather there is no set date.  Hope has not been very nice to the employees of the contractor so there motivation is down to get it done.  The workers are union, so they don't have to work Saturdays in they don't want too, and they haven't been.  He also informed that there is a HUGE scratch on the floor, and they now have to take off the seal, re sand the whole floor and then seal it again, and that is a two week job right there.  Those tours GVW has been taken through there (unathurized tours at that, hence another reason the workers aren't happy) are hurting the progress of the building more than it is helping recruiting.  I will try and get a date on when the contractors think it will be done.

I know someone that is working in the Devos everyday, and he says there is NO WAY that they can be done by the 19th.  They want them to have 4 months of work done in these last two weeks (steel order problems that set them back at the very beginning)  He claims that they have been telling Hope they should schedule at the Civ, but Hope if refusing.  Lets just hope they can pull it off.
