Because of this, I don’t think it will look good if they brightly light the top section of the building in contrast to the rest. I think it will look better with a more uniform led pattern that outlines the edges of the building (similar to BOA in Dallas) and diamonds. But, I’m sure they’ll play with it and make it look right

I get the feeling that they're just calibrating the lighting and testing it out at full brightness. It will probably be much more subdued later on, aside from special events maybe.
