From The Ground Up - Ep. 1: "More Than Just A Building"

Since their inception in 1960, the Raiders have never had a stadium of their own. Until now. Narrated by Dirty Jobs' Mike Rowe, From The Ground Up, takes the viewer on an unprecedented look into the techniques and technologies, the steel and the stress, and the lives of the men and women responsible for building an ultra-modern stadium in Southern Nevada.

Very informative presentation. You are presented with a lot of facts and dynamics involved in such a complex project. I knew for some years the Raiders were moving from Oakland to Las Vegas but the fact the stadium will be located right by THE STRIP itself was a surprise and a bonus.

Very bad choice by oakland to do that. oakland has f**k up big time. hate to say it but it's true, ngl.

MAYBE we are tanking the season maybe not, we'll tank next season as well, maybe not. We are getting for sure a top 5 NFL DRAFT prospect in 2019 "hint: Bosa" and 2020 TBD. Thank you Mack for all the draft picks and our rebuilding process. As for the 2020 season to the end of Gruden's contract, if not, extended for another 10 years? SuperBowl Contenders and Dynasty...Real Predictions. We will win a SuperBowl for Vegas before some other teams that are currently failing or have failed to do in the history for their respective City/State e.g. S.D. sorry but that team already moved to LA (RAIDERS already handed you one, LA, YOUR WELCOME!) whom now have 2 possibilities to get another ring and a 100% chance (in case you don't know: the teams are in different conferences) if both those teams make it there, but do it while you can this season or next before the 2020 season.

Raiders used to pride themselves on being outsiders and being for the raider nation. They have transformed into just another consumer product.

Besides the local football fans, vacationers will also attend the games. And plenty of California fans will make the drive there or take a hop. There should be no problem filling the stadium, but the team will need to play much better than they are now.

[@CDG925x]

Keith Galahad they are obviously tanking and prepping for vegas

[@josephjones4468]

So you honestly believe that a family on vacation will spend 200-300 dollars for the nosebleed section and a visiting teams fans will spend the money on a flight out have to checkout by 11 am carry luggage to the games and fly home directly afterwards to be at work on Monday when they can go to any sportsbook pay for hot dogs and beer and basically watch the game for free? Yea I can definitely see this happening and when the hotel taxes don't generate the money they projected it to guess who pays for it in the end? The rich fans of Clark county just like the fans in Oakland. And when this stadium is obsolete guess what Mark Davis is going to do.

[@southpawRS5]

Casinos will buy up plenty of tickets. They’ve already said this. Expect to see lots of visiting fans attending games there. Doubt it will be much of a home field advantage.

[@billr3724]

@@southpawRS5 I would agree. The home field advantage won't be the same as having the rabid fans in Oakland, it will take years to build up a true fan base. Listening to local California radio, it's expected that quite a few Raiders fans from California would make the drive,take a bus or a plane hop to LV. Raider Nation follows their team no matter where they play and LV is just around a 4 hours drive from LA.

[@AlwaysUntilForever]

Keith Galahad you put too much faith in angelenos who have too many options on weekends. If that team in vegas stays lame like they are now I dont see anyone going out of their way to pay ridiculous prices to see a team lose every sunday, especially when you have an actual local team in LA playing some of the best football in years.

​@DgsTube46 Not really. Football is 90% mental, and I'd argue that coaches are far more valuable to building a successful franchise than any player ever has been. Besides, Gruden overturned over HALF of the teams roster and replaced them with "his guys." anyway. He created holes where there werent any previously. I.E. DE, WR, and Punter. This is 90% his fault.
