The 60-foot-long trailer with the 7-ton press box was no match for the narrow winding street into the rear parking lot at UNM-LA, but after many tries the skilled driver and his crew managed to negotiate the street and safely arrive at their destination. Photo by John McHale/ladailypost.com
The skilled driver and his crew had to use every inch of the parking lot to get past the obstacles. Photo by John McHale/ladailypost.com
At last the press box is lifted off the trailer ready to be place in position. Photo by John McHale/ladailypost.com
The press box had to be rotated over the bleachers to reach its destination. Nothing easy about this installation. Photo by John McHale/ladailypost.com
