Other Work is Ahead or On Schedule
Despite the attention the roof system has garnered, other parts of the stadium are cruising along and even ahead of schedule.
Here’s a list of some major pieces of the project and their progress:
- Lower bowl precast installation was completed in eight days (two ahead of schedule).
- All four lanai doors have been installed as scheduled.
- Support framing has been completed for the Al Davis Memorial torch feature honoring the legendary Raiders owner.
- Interior bowl excavation is complete and the layout for under-slab drainage, grade beams, raids and slab on grade are now underway.
- The site area is receiving final grading and curbs, sidewalks and driveways are being installed.
- The scoreboard secondary steel and catwalks are being installed.
- Seating rail installation is continuing on schedule.
- Exterior enclosure work is progressing ahead of schedule.
- Suites are being framed and are ready to receive drywall.
- Field tray construction has commenced as planned and the press area is progressing, although slightly behind schedule.
A project the size of the 65,000-seat Allegiant Stadium has many moving parts and simultaneous projects all happening at once. And, even with the setback with the roof, the Raiders future home looks to be on time to schedule the stadium’s first event scheduled for August 16, 2020.
