Raiders don’t believe Las Vegas stadium roof delay will impact opening

The Raiders' under-construction stadium in Las Vegas has hit a snag, and there are differing viewpoints on whether the building will be ready for its scheduled opening.

The Las Vegas Review Journal reported Monday that the roof of Allegiant Stadium won't be installed until some time in May, well after it was scheduled to go into place.

The Raiders don't believe their issue with the roof will affect the July 31 opening of the stadium, but independent monitor Grand Canyon Development Partners released a report and they beg to differ.

“Because of the delay in the overall building enclosure, there is the possibility of weather damage as more finish work is put in place,” Grand Canyon wrote in their report, according to the Review-Journal.
