The Raiders began installing fans’ legacy personalized bricks outside the NFL team’s new Las Vegas stadium, just the latest in a brick program that has been in action for more than three years with the money going to the Raiders foundation.
More 1,500 construction workers are on the job day and night working both in and outside the 65,000-seat domed stadium.
LVSportsBiz.com checked out the exterior Friday morning. Here’s a digital ad billboard that was installed this week on the stadium’s northeast side. In addition, part of the 62-acre site was paved on the stadium’s southeast side.
Interior work is coming along, too. Photos from Raiders.
