Nearly half of the $1.8 billion has been spent and construction on the Las Vegas stadium is about 44 percent completed with 11 of 26 canopy trusses in place.
All things considered, the Raiders’ relationship with the city and state has been a good one, and several reports Thursday enumerated some of the positives that already have emerged.
Stadium Company Chief Operating Officer Don Webb assured everyone nothing had changed on the completion date and that everything was still on schedule despite some recent snags in the delivery of steel components to the stadium site.
The third phase of PSL sales — the least expensive in the building with a range of between $500 and $3,900 per seat — are mostly in the highest levels of the stadium.
The first opportunity to host is in 2025 and the $1.8 billion stadium will have been open five years by then. Raiders President Marc Badain said the team will lead the charge to bring the game to Southern Nevada then.
The Raiders say “correction notices” issued to some fans for the personal seat licenses they bought are price adjustments and don’t constitute an overall reduction in PSL prices at the Las Vegas stadium.
Before the Raiders take the field for games in their new stadium, workers will move a 9,500-ton, 240-foot-wide natural grass field into place on the stadium floor.
Seven NFL Clubs have relationships with Caesars Entertainment, including the Falcons, Ravens, Bears, Colts, Saints, Raiders and Eagles. These partnerships, along with the new deal do not include sports betting or daily fantasy.
