Irv Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I'm not a fan of the Raiders but man that stadium they have looks awesome. Part of me would love to see the Bills get something like that but then half of us, self included, could not afford to go. I also wonder if we had something like this that is climate controlled would it kill the tailgating. Anyway that is one cool looking stadium.

PromoTheRobot Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I wonder why they chose black in the desert? Won't it absorb a lot of heat? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_kidd_4 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 That thing looks horrendously tacky. But I suppose that’s perfectly suited to the whole Vegas theme. Gimme three decks, open air and good sight-lines and I’m good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Gonna be great when we are all 6 feet apart and tickets only cost $5,500/game. How much is a hot dog and a Coke. $110.000? You picked a fine time to build me Lucille... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My road game this year was going to be Vegas, because it would rival the Nashville game from last year. But alas........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, this is the organization that gave Jon Gruden a fully-guaranteed, ten year, $100M contract. They're not exactly known for making logical decisions. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T&C Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Raiders black I suppose, electric bill won't be an issue... liked them when I was a kid... Lamonica, Fred with the smeared black tack everywhere. No longer like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you're saying, but your example is wrong. The quote is from an Aussie song, where they use Celsius and not Fahrenheit. 45c = 113F Edited September 6, 2020 by Bad Things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah... won't be an oven inside... modern day AC. Like someone mentioned, it does cool down pretty well in the desert at night. I'm still going with the raiders black. I'm sure the reason is out there somewheres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But will the AC have to work that much harder because the skin on the building is absorbing infrared? I don't know these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
