FAA move could affect timeline for Raiders' Vegas stadium
The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a notice requesting comments on the Oakland Raiders' proposed stadium in Las Vegas, a move with a deadline that could affect the project's ambitious construction timeline.
The FAA has given the public until Sept. 22 to submit comments it would then consider in its review of the stadium.
The agency's preliminary findings show the stadium would not affect air traffic at McCarran International Airport. But officials in Nevada's Clark County have said key permits for the stadium's construction won't be considered until the FAA makes a final determination.
