I was going to recommend a parachute, but my research shows that it probably wouldn't work. You might live, but I'm not sure you'll want to.

The Arena from the south, under the O Street overpass. Not the best angle. The power plant is in front.
Best picture I could get with short time Sunday morning. Those train cars with the rails really messed up my angles.
The Arena from atop the parking garage to the west of Memorial Stadium. It's already dominating the meager skyline of the Haymarket.
The new seats in East Stadium. Best shot I could get without going inside the stadium.
The NE corner, with a view of the work being done at Ed Weir Track.
Finally, a Now-and-Then pic, from the same spot (different cameras, though, so different focal lengths), about seven and a half months apart. First, now:
And this is where we were on November 4th, 2011. We've come a long way in a very short time.

Never noticed the East stadium lights were down until the last two pictures.

Yeah... someone was saying that in order to get the new lights up by the start of the season, the remaining steel framing needs to be put up. They need the framed height to go ahead and put the lights up... thus most of the bone structure should be up by Labor Day weekend.... they have 2 1/2 months to get there... with the progress they've made so far there's no doubt they'll get there.

I read a quote, which I thought was in one of Randy York's insider columns, where either Ingram or Meyers indicated the iron work will be done before the first game as they need to have the lights in place. However, looking at the schedule now they may not need them til the Wisconsin game. Although there is always a chance for some dark skies where they would want lights on for the Southern Miss or Arkansas State games. I can't seem to find the article but it seems reasonable that this portion would be done before the season. Most of the iron work is done, whats left to complete from that standpoint should move fairly quickly I would guess.

They finally started adding some more iron work earlier this week, looks like they are bracing the iron that is randomly sticking out the top currently.

It would be a waste to update the stadium if we can't sell the tickets, so I guess we are just going to have to work on filling it up.

Tom Osborne has already spoke about this a few times. They did the math and everything's going to be okay. /comfort
