Las Vegas Raiders news from training camp through the NFL season, including videos, podcasts, and coverage of Allegiant Stadium. From the Vegas Nation team.
This week’s questions from Raiders fans include the state of the quarterback competition and how long it will take the offense to master the new scheme.
Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said his players could decompress after the team’s mandatory minicamp this week, but he doesn’t want them to stop working.
The Raiders’ defense was one of the NFL’s best down the stretch last season. They could be even better this year.
The Review-Journal’s Cassie Soto and Rick Velotta talk about the roof, new seats and work to complete the 9,500-ton field tray in the Vegas Nation Stadium Show.
More than 2,000 laborers are at work at Allegiant Stadium where work has begun to install the translucent plastic polymer roof of the home of the Las Vegas Raiders.
“Mortenson has never failed to complete a sports facility on time,” said Don Webb. “Allegiant Stadium will not be their first failure because Allegiant Stadium will be completed on time.”
The translucent roof of Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium — a signature feature of the $2 billion, 65,000-seat football palace — initially was scheduled for completion by fall.
