What is going on at Red Wings arena site?

Are you making a 'mountain out of a mole hill?' or just being snarky?

In a project with a 30 month timetable, there is plenty of time to make up lost time, even within the first, excavation, phase. Plenty of overtime...

Both.

I'm just glad that you're so intimately familiar with the construction process that you 1) know that the contractor is two weeks behind schedule and 2) that they will definitely be able to make up two weeks of time by the end of spring.

But, yeah, overtime. Which is perfectly reasonable when nearly half the cost of this thing is publicly funded, right?

And, rah rah, or something.

I 'watched' Nationals Park go up in D.C. and they saddled the contractors with a very, very tight window.

Happens all the time. Government leaders get stuck in gridlock, the start gets delayed, the workers have to cover for them by working ridiculous schedules.

P.S. aren't cost overruns on the Ilitches?
