Steel Structure Trivia: NASCC in Music City

The 2015 NASCC: The Steel Conference is heading to Nashville, March 25-27 at Music City Center. The curvaceous convention center opened in 2013 and evokes the city’s musical prowess and natural setting. The upper floors and roof are framed with structural steel weighing in at just over 14,000 tons. (Photo: Courtesy of tvsdesign)

Your February Steel Structure Trivia question is:

What is Music City Center’s grand ballroom shaped like?
