Irv Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 I'm not a fan of the Raiders but man that stadium they have looks awesome. Part of me would love to see the Bills get something like that but then half of us, self included, could not afford to go. I also wonder if we had something like this that is climate controlled would it kill the tailgating. Anyway that is one cool looking stadium.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 I wonder why they chose black in the desert? Won't it absorb a lot of heat? 1
4_kidd_4 Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 That thing looks horrendously tacky. But I suppose that’s perfectly suited to the whole Vegas theme. Gimme three decks, open air and good sight-lines and I’m good. 1
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Gonna be great when we are all 6 feet apart and tickets only cost $5,500/game. How much is a hot dog and a Coke. $110.000? You picked a fine time to build me Lucille...

RaoulDuke79 Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 A pretty thorough writeup. It really is a pretty damn impressive engineering feat. https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/field-of-dreams-allegiant-stadium/

My road game this year was going to be Vegas, because it would rival the Nashville game from last year. But alas........

T&C Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Raiders black I suppose, electric bill won't be an issue... liked them when I was a kid... Lamonica, Fred with the smeared black tack everywhere. No longer like them.

I get what you're saying, but your example is wrong. The quote is from an Aussie song, where they use Celsius and not Fahrenheit. 45c = 113F Edited September 6, 2020 by Bad Things 1

Nah... won't be an oven inside... modern day AC. Like someone mentioned, it does cool down pretty well in the desert at night. I'm still going with the raiders black. I'm sure the reason is out there somewheres.

But will the AC have to work that much harder because the skin on the building is absorbing infrared? I don't know these things.
