The Oakland Raiders held their groundbreaking event on Nov. 13 that marked the start of construction of their new stadium in Las Vegas.

Principal owner and managing general partner of the Oakland Raiders, Mark Davis, thanked all the sponsors and the Las Vegas community for the support he received to build the new stadium and move the Raiders to the entertainment capital of the world.

“Thank you for making this a reality,” Davis said. “Thanks to you, the future is now.”

The plan to build the stadium took 22 months to process, but the clock starts now to get 65,000 seats bolted in on a 62-acre stadium.
