Raiders’ $10 million-a-year coach Jon Gruden got a look at the NFL team’s $1.97 billion stadium project.

Take a look at Gruden taking a look.

“I can’t get over it. I just love the black . . . This is jaw-dropping,” Gruden said. “We got to get back to work,” he said. “We go to win.”

The Raiders have summoned the media to attend an announcement at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday at the stadium site on the west side of Interstate 15 across from Mandalay Bay hotel-casino.

The team, however, has not said what the announcement is all about.

I’ll be there with all the rest of the Las Vegas media.
