“Because of the delay in the overall building enclosure, there is the possibility of weather damage as more finish work is put in place,” the report cited in Velotta’s story said.
It also said due to the opportunity for more damage due to exposure to weather, the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy date could be in jeopardy.
The cable roof system, the biggest of its kind ever attempted in North America, is by far the most challenging and difficult project to reach completion of the Raiders and UNLV’s new stadium home. Although rumors of the delay have been reported since last fall, and again earlier this year, this is the first definitive confirmation of a delay. The Raiders did delay raising the cable system in November, claiming it would be completed before the end of the year.
While the delay is sure to fuel more discussion about a possible delayed opening of the stadium, we should find out more at Thursday’s Las Vegas Stadium Authority board meeting.
