However, Sue was not forthcoming with many details about her new home.
But seriously, I'm sitting on a Dropbox folder chock full of cool news and pictures I can't wait to show y'all.

I've been told they'll cut off the ham train if I share any of it before the embargo...
You want to be @FieldMuseum this winter. Trust me.
In February, Sue was moved from her longtime main hall home for a new attraction-- a titanosaur weighing about 70 tons, so tall that its head peeks over the second-floor balcony in Stanley Field Hall.
In the meantime, work has been proceeding to give Sue a new home.
"We are de-installing the most iconic T-Rex fossil in the world," Hilary Hansen, the Field's Exhibitions Department project manager, said in February. "We're moving SUE, bone by bone, into a brand new exhibition on the second floor completely devoted to SUE."
