New features of the Las Vegas Raiders stadium were recently revealed.

New features of the Las Vegas Raiders stadium were recently revealed. The ceiling is a high-strength translucent polymer that lets in natural light but keeps heat down in summer. Translucent stadium components will make the stadium appear black at day, but inside lights will be visible at night. The ribbon structure along the sides will ventilate fresh air in, relieve exhaust and drain water from the roof. The natural-grass field will grow outdoors on a 4-foot-high tray to be wheeled in on game day.
An artificial-turf field will rest atop the stadium floor. Stadium capacity varies by event. For football games, it’s 62,500.
Additional seats can be added for events like the Super Bowl bringing capacity to 70,000. The stadium will have nine clubs, three at field level, including two on opposite sides of the field at the 50-yard line. As some of the stadium is below-ground, half of fans can go down and the other half up to their seats, reducing congestion.

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has been named to his third consecutive Pro Bowl. Carr was selected as an alternate to replace the Patriots’ Tom Brady, who is preparing to face the Eagles in Super Bowl LII. Carr joins teammates Rodney Hudson, Khalil Mack, Kelechi Osemele and Donald Penn for Sunday’s Pro Bowl in Orlando. “Fans… it was not the year we wanted, but to still be recognized by you, #RaiderNation, fans everywhere, and players and coaches you go against as one of these players is an extremely high honor that I will always be thankful for!,” Carr tweeted Monday. Carr joins former Raiders quarterbacks Ken Stabler and Rich Gannon to be named to three Pro Bowls. Carr finished the season with 3,496 passing yards, 22 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. The Pro Bowl takes place Sunday at noon and will be broadcast on ESPN.

Chiefs flag buried under Raiders stadium site in Las Vegas

One of the NFL’s fiercest rivalries has literally taken on new depth. A man buried a Kansas City Chiefs flag near what is expected to be the 50-yard line of the new Raiders stadium going up on the Strip. Chiefs fan Chris Scherzer posted a photo of his friend wearing a white hardhat and dark glasses and holding a red and gold Chiefs banner with the inscription “Chiefs Kingdom” on his Facebook page. The Facebook post read, “Flag buried in dirt, encased in concrete, with a stadium built on top of it. Chiefs 1, Raiders 0. Las Vegas.” Scherzer says his friend was at the stadium site when another acquaintance snapped the photo. The plan was to bury the flag where they presumed the 50-yard line would be. The Raiders’ Las Vegas stadium is set to be completed by the 2020 season.
