Apparently, Las Vegas is getting another professional sports team, the Raiders.<\/p>\n

As NFL teams need a place to engage in their copious concussions, Las Vegas agreed to help build the Raiders a sportsball theater experience.<\/p>\n

We are not a sports person, so we don’t tend to blog about sports too much, but Raiders stadium is hard to ignore, so here’s an update!<\/p>\n

\"Raiders\"
All due respect, Oakland, you can’t touch this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As Las Vegas can get warmish (think a “kiln” you can’t turn off except for two weeks in early January), the Las Vegas Raiders stadium will have a translucent roof. Retractable roofs are so 2012.<\/p>\n

The roof will be made from ethylene tetrafluoroethylene, a fluorine-based polymer. And, yes, we knew that off the top of our head.<\/p>\n

Raiders stadium will have 52 truss columns, each weighing about 65 tons, or about what your brother-in-law weighs after a visit to a Las Vegas buffet. Give or take a ton.<\/p>\n

\"Raiders
These things weigh a lot, truss us on this one.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That roof will be 200 feet up and supported by trusses, which are being installed right now.<\/p>\n

\"Raiders
T-Mobile’s slipping lifts into its shoes right about now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s expected the stadium will be completed in August 2020.<\/p>\n

Here’s a video that shows what’s gone into building this massive structure. Bonus: It’s narrated by Mike Rowe, the guy from “Deadliest Catch.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe stadium will have 65,000 seats.<\/p>\n

It’s been reported the Las Vegas Raiders stadium project will cost $1.8 billion. Although, that’s pocket change in NFL dollars.<\/p>\n

\"Raiders
Still the worst education system in the country, but damn we’re good at making buildings for sports.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While we may not be the biggest football fan, there’s no denying the Raiders stadium is a big deal for Las Vegas, so we’ll keep an eye on this project, even perfunctorally, which we’re pretty sure wasn’t a word until this sentence.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
