Raiders Officials: Las Vegas Stadium To Have Roof In Time

Project and team officials insist a nearly $2 billion Las Vegas football stadium will be completed on budget and in time for the NFL's relocated Raiders, including behind-schedule installation of its translucent roof.

 

Raiders President Marc Badain said Thursday that ticket reservations have sold out for the 65,000-seat venue, with surveys showing buyers are about 60% from Nevada and around 40% from California.

Project chief Don Webb bristled at what he termed "unfortunate" recent headlines about a delay hoisting the roof into place.

 

He told the Las Vegas Stadium Authority Board the covering will be installed in May instead of April.
