Probably the same panels they use on Fremont or in the Sphere.

Super cool design! I can't wait to (hopefully) go watch some games!

What the **** is that roof? Get rid of it and it'll look 100% better.

Looks like someone's a big fan of the Sydney Opera House.

WTH? They must have decided to move down under and forget about Vegas. This roof belongs in Australia.

Think they're forgoing the cost of a retractable roof because more often than not it would be closed, I believe they said.

Loosely related, the huge doors on the side of Allegiant Stadium seem to have been a mistake, they've been open for no events and the Raiders concierge for my season tickets has never been able to find out any information about the criteria or events they're open for.

Now to see if it actually happens. I don't think the legal challenges are really expected to get anywhere, just a matter of the A's doing their part funding-wise. The Tropicana hotel currently on the site is closing up shop 4/2 to prepare for demolition.

Vegas baby!

They have Paris, Italy, Egypt, NYC... isn't it natural they add Sydney??!

So, they currently have $380M in public funding for that $1.5B stadium... I'm really curious how Fisher comes up with the rest.

This really the last big piece, if/when this is answered a lot of things become real for a lot of people. The skepticism is well-placed until proven otherwise.
