Las Vegas Stadium Authority Raiders Stadium Completion Date Moved From October 2020 To December 2020

Las Vegas Stadium Authority Raiders Stadium Completion Date Moved From October 2020 To December 2020 - Video

Las Vegas Stadium Authority Raiders Stadium Completion Date Moved From October To December 2020 Per LVSA Report Buried in the latest publicly-available progress report on the former Oakland Raiders Las Vegas Stadium called Allegiant Stadium, is a sentence explaining that the so-called" close-out" date of October 31, 2020, is extended to December 2020. The paragraph from the LVSA Staff Summary Progress Report for May 2020 (https://ift.tt/306irbs) , reads as follows "The project schedule was generally unchanged during the current reporting period. Substantial completion is anticipated on July 31,2020. Project closeout was extended from October 31, 2020,to November 31, 2020, in February and was unchanged in May. Respecting the uncertainty inherent to the COVID-19 crisis, the stadium’s opening event, Garth Brooks, remains scheduled for August 22, 2020. The opening preseason game between the Las Vegas Raidersand the Arizona Cardinals is scheduled for August 27, 2020,UNLV’s first home game is scheduled for August 29, 2020, and the first official NFL game between the Las Vegas Raiders and the New Orleans Saints is scheduled for September 21, 2020. We have noted that the project’s“tail,” or the work that will be required after substantial completion, has increased.Roughly $117.3millionin project costs are currently anticipated to be incurred after the project reaches substantial completion (i.e., between August 2020 and December 2020). This work now stands at 6.0 percent of the overall project budget." The last stadium report was issued in May 21, but it did not include a report that pointed to and specifically mentioned a December stadium construction end date. Thus, the stadium completion time that I pointed to July 19, 2019, of October 31, 2020 (https://ift.tt/2WfflAT), was not only the true date, July 31 of 2020, just "substantial" completion, it's clear there is and was political pressure to have sports played in the stadium even as it was being worked on. It is also clear there was political pressure to finish the stadium during the Coronavirus, and even as it was some clear workers were getting sick.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
