Constructing a football dream
NFL teams have been known to change hometowns, the Raiders more so than others. The team’s fourth move has them making the jump from Oakland to Las Vegas for the upcoming 2020 season, and a new team needs a new stadium.
As a project engineer intern for PCI Construction, Riley Long got an up-close view of the Raiders’ new home turf, Allegiant Stadium, as it speeds toward completion, expected later this year. Construction broke ground in 2017 on the 1.75-million-square-foot stadium, projected to house up to 72,000 seats.
