Allegiant Stadium might not be ready for Raiders 2020 season


Recommended Posts

Sin City might have to wait another year to "welcome" the Raiders at their new home.

 

The Covid-19 pandemic has slowed construction at Allegiant Stadium, which would force the Raiders to play elsewhere.

HI:

 

Your take is a bit inaccurate.  This article is just saying that they have contingencies.  I live in Las Vegas.  They continue to work on the stadium through this quarantine period.  if an outbreak of Covid 19 is discovered among the construction workers, then the work site could be shut down.  

 

As of now, the stadium is still on track,

 

This link shows a PFF article that talks about contingencies but states that it is expected to be completed on time.

Let's pump the breaks here.

It's not just football as construction on the Isles new arena was put on hold. The Isles were going to play the 20-21 season at Nassau anyway as the new arena in Belmont won't be ready until the 21-22 season.

This might be for the best. Hotels are expensive, we were all planning to stay with you!    :)

Much like the airline that bears it's name. Running late.  And why Allegiant Stadium? Was Goodwill tapped out?

Yup, theres also too much money tied up in that stadium and LA's to let a pandemic stop it from being built. I'm sure they would continue on no matter the death count if it means they will be done on time, work won't get stopped

What's the problem, they already have a dome.

They should have used that photo as inspiration for the design of the Stadium.....

I said it "might" happen, not that it was definitely going to happen.
