Sorry Guys, Not much of an update in the past few days but the following may be of interest regarding the new LV Raisers Stadium. Updated April 1, 2017 LVRJ
Southern Nevada construction industry experts say whoever ends up building the planned 65,000-seat stadium for the Las Vegas Raiders will face a massive challenge to get it done by the opening of the 2020 NFL season.
The enormity of the project, the long checklist of approvals necessary to get it started and a potential labor shortage once work begins are among the roadblocks facing the Raiders, their development partner and the Las Vegas Stadium Authority.
Between today (April 1, 2017) and the middle of August 2020 are 1,231 days.
It took contractors working on Jerry Jones’ spectacular 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium for the Dallas Cowboys 1,346 days to complete from groundbreaking to ribbon-cutting. And three experts who have experience on projects in Southern Nevada say the Raiders will be lucky to get started within 18 months.
