It’s due to open in roughly 15 months. And it’s currently nearly halfway to completion.Via Richard N. Velotta of the Bo Jackson Jersey White , the Raiders’ new stadium is “nearly halfway” to completion. It also continues to be on schedule for an August 2020 opening.That said, Velotta cautions, vaguely, that plans are not complete “to move thousands of people to and from the 65,000-seat indoor stadium.” So it’s apparently possible that the stadium will be ready but that the surrounding infrastructure aimed at regularly filling and emptying the venue with humans in the possession of cash money to spend there won’t be.The Raiders have executed a lease in Oakland with an option for 2020, in the event the stadium isn’t ready. This shouldn’t be interpreted as a suggestion that the stadium won’t be ready; mere mention of the possibility that the team won’t move to Las Vegas by 2020 gets some Raiders fans nearly as upset as mere mention of the possibility that Derek Carr won’t be the starting quarterback through 2030.

The recent earthquakes had little effect on the stadium project Derek Carr Jersey White , but a few issues with the truss fittings did cause a small delay. The first part of building a stadium always takes the longest and is the most difficult due to digging the foundation and putting up the steel frame, but the later parts of construction are far easier.Raider fans who don’t normally frequent Las Vegas will get their chance to see the building up close when the NFL Draft is held in Sin City next April. The stadium is on schedule to be fully enclosed by then and presumably the remaining work will be done on the inside of the facility at that time. The Draft will not be held at the stadium itself, but most likely just down the street at Caesar’s Palace’s new conference center or perhaps the Bellagio. Yours truly, the Great Raiderdamus, plans to be there just as I was for this year’s Draft in Nashville.Barring any unforeseen delays or issues, it seems as though the Raiders will be well and truly the Las Vegas Raiders next season and the possible 2020 lease of the Oakland Coliseum will be rendered unnecessary.
