From The Ground Up: There's No Road Map For This (Ep. 11) | Allegiant Stadium | Las Vegas Raiders

On the eleventh episode of From The Ground Up, we go back to March as the stadium crew quickly adapted to COVID-19 by implementing safe work policies and proactive measures. With Allegiant Stadium's roof now complete, we take a look back at the installation process and the origin of the roof's unique design.

All these workers are badasses.

Nobody Me: Waiting for a Ground up episode for 10 years

[@jaybizz3280]

They used to make a video every 2 weeks

[@lucash5446]

Glad to see that Las Vegas is taking after AZ with the train tracks and going to have real grass. So much better for the athletes.

[@kevinstamey5485]

Duntov should get some kind of credit from the Raiders. That man has literally filmed this stadium from the ground up an is a die hard fan. I’d love to see him get some VIP pass or field pass or something.

[@livingroomcinema1987]

Imagine that party on the Strip when the Raiders win the SB.

[@Nategreat923]

Absolutely incredible video. This feels like something we would watch in school, very inspiring.

[@freddienes3840]

Yup, it like were all part of history

[@meb882]

I wish I did something like construction or engineering as a career. There must be a lot of pride being a part of a team that builds/designs things. As a sales professional as soon as the sale is closed you immediately move on to the next. I can't go look at a structure/home/building etc. and say I was a part of that. This stadium looks badass.

[@BoomerKeith1]

It's never too late!

[@meb882]

Sooner Keith I’m 51.....I’m done 😜

[@BoomerKeith1]

@@meb882 I'm 49, so I get that! Honestly, I feel tired just thinking about it. lol. It really is never too late, if you really want to do it but yeah, at our age it's not quite as enticing.

[@bigbenji1194]

Watch what you wish for my guy ! Being in the hot sun for 12 hours a day isn’t fun at all. Or in the pouring down rain and forgot to bring extra clothes that day .. it is cool to see what you were apart when it’s all done but construction is not fun at all

[@videohotrodlimited7945]

You could do what I do. I'm one of the two main drone pilots for Mortensen McCarthy. Many of my clips are in this video, 1:36, 1:56, 2:32, 3:42, and a lot of the overhead shots of the cables, etc. My main task is weekly surveys so the project managers can see the progress in a 3D model. So while I do walk around the entire perimeter of the stadium twice each weekend, I only have to carry two drones and a bunch of batteries. And I can still say I took part in the construction of this project.

Hope you have some action of our crew installing the torch. Really want to see me and my crew in installing the torch

[@johngibble75]

I saw a clip of the torch lit up on Reddit and it's an awesome effect, I'm totally geeked!

[@djjokeramok]

It’s really cool. I install all the equipment that makes the fire of the torch as well as all the 3D panels and aluminum panels. Can’t wait to see the episode.

[@kylerobb1696]

Can't wait to see what you out together in person!

[@nickyvtown]

You work for DI? I sampled the grout for the base of the torch

[@djjokeramok]

nick armijo. They hired ironworkers to install everything

[@danebowen729]

Fantastic episode. I hope you can do another showing the interior work.

[@johngullo9420]

They should just let Duntov take over From The Ground Up. Hey Raiders-let him post a video from the inside before the stadium is done.

[@artomkhitaryan2006]

John Gullo yep knew this was coming

[@videohotrodlimited7945]

They don't even let me in there except when they need special work done. I'm their main drone pilot.

Why hasn't Netflix made a series of this yet? I'd watch in-sight of construction for the construction of SoFi and Allegiant all day long. Feature some players, coaches and owners too, then boom. Netflix has their own little version of Hard Knocks lol

Yes .... Duntov is doing a great job!

Im a rams fan but he’s the 🐐.

[@omarpasha2968]

Money will never replace the heart and soul of a true Raider. And, that heart and soul is still in Oakland and the Bay area! It can never be bought! True Raider heart can never be purchased by the Las Vegas mob! It comes from faith, sacrifice, and the blessed will to keep fighting, and never give up!

[@dme1016]

The Empire State Building in NYC was built in 13 months, in the middle of Manhattan, WITN NO COMPUTERS, and under budget. Thus stadium is impressive, but what they did in the 30's was mind-blowing.

[@sevillajr48]

@Raiders you should let Dontuv be your official raiders press. Because he followed the construction from the ground up, like literally From The Ground Up.

[@jesseturk1353]

Talk about attention to detail - even the "pool floaties" were Raiders colors!

[@brianohara8652]

Before Mike Rowe said we were looking at the roof if the stadium I just kept staring at it because it looked like a giant seashell and I couldnt figure out why a giant shell was at the stadium site

[@waqarkhan25]

I hope there is Episode 12 right up to and including the game and after the game or as we soccer fans like to call it a Match any way what I am saying what happened after the game clean up the stadium and every else

[@matthewconner463]

🏈🏈🏈🏈💪🏾

[@CaesarDarias]

Very interesting video. I asked this a few months ago: You’re in the middle of the desert. Why is there not a major solar power component to this project? Was it considered? The roof of Apple’s massive new spaceship campus, for example, is covered with solar panels.

[@ed7519]

Cesar Darius: The solar panels would be too heavy. The roof of this stadium was supposed to be retractable to open for air and light. Having solar panels isn't realistic for this project. It's going to be a clear roof and it's hard enough to construct a roof made out of glass, as you can see.

haha havent heard that one before........🙄

[@deezyXII]

I wish HBO HARDKNOCKS was this season!

[@CONSOLETRUTH2]

I still find it amazing how people are wondering how things are going to work with a heat here in Las Vegas. The reason why it's kind of amazing is because the Cardinals have been in the Phoenix metropolitan area since what 1986 or so and they've had no problems and the reason why I bring them up is because the Phoenix area is typically on average between 5 and 10 degrees warmer than what Vegas is. So like right now it's about a hundred and two degrees outside here in Las Vegasthat would make it roughly 107 to 112 degrees in Phoenix. And considering the fact that the Cardinals have been able to play in the Phoenix area since the mid-80s and a majority of that time was at the stadium for ASU which is sun devil stadium and that was an outdoor stadium there should be no issues whatsoever with him playing at an indoor stadium here in Vegas.

[@Justin_Case702]

Duntov filmed this like 2 months ago, raiders youre behind

[@jaredaldan5382]

[@Eayala17]

Everyone this is how you pronounce "NEVADA" !! 1:53

[@Dinero06]

Imagine losing your first home game in a new stadium that’s tough, that new stadium isn’t going to make the Raiders better.

[@rogerm4a1]

Alright we all know what must be done in order to pay that stadium off and that’s.. WINNING. We need to win right now.

[@CONSOLETRUTH2]

Technicallythe stadium has mostly been paid off because the funding from the state was done by exercising a room tax on the hotel rooms in town and thus all the great and awesome tourists and visitors that come to Vegas have pretty much paid for the stadium

[@elziocanssi7156]

Public only in 2021 wiil nave to wait

[@iamdantediaz]

the Paradise Raiders of Nevada BAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@CONSOLETRUTH2]

seeing as how just calling the NHL's golden knights the Vegas golden knights has worked without problem, unofficially I think that the raiders should actually be known as the sin City raiders as opposed to the Las Vegas raiders. Actually just Vegas raiders work too.

[@GamerFan-om8yx]

Does anyone else hear that dump truck back up sound in the background? Can we ask that person to put it into park for a sec

[@louieflores3343]

That sound would be when it drops of the actual team,Raiders are everytjing trash.go Rams!!!

The retractable roof would of been better

[@jonjackson5841]

Is this Mike Rowe's voice?

Yes i was lookin for this comment

[@ernz3712]

WTF happened to the CLEAR etf roof. Not semi clear. I thought there was no compromise there?

[@videohotrodlimited7945]

I thought so, too. But I think the diffused PTFE will be better for the attendees during the summer heat.

[@capricornmagic63]

This is Death Star Stadium. Forget the corporate name. Raider fans, are you listening ( or reading) DEATH STAR STADIUM!

[@yourfaceislameful]

where tf are the 10 raiders fans gonna park?

[@maxboi1036]

Raiders will start 0-2 watch

[@habitatnative]

As an architect appreciating design, this stadium is so dope! However I don’t support the NFL and left the nation once they decided to be desert pirates lol should have built this in California.

[@CONSOLETRUTH2]

So, that actually makes you a fan of a city (Oakland) and a state (Cali) as opposed to a team. I mean 8ve been a die hard 49ers fan and stayed one when they left San Fran because I am a fan of the TEAM and NOT the city they play in.

[@jaysnowden2]

We will look back and see how stupid this covid crap was. Alabama, Florida and other states didn’t close down like California and others.

[@philschumm]

An episode released two hours ago that already feels out dated by about 3 months. Meh.

[@BoomerKeith1]

That'll happen during a pandemic.

[@racingjunk7024]

Don’t you worry the stadium will be done in 28 days and you’ll get to see it all

[@videohotrodlimited7945]

Video production got pushed back because the edit house closed for the shutdown. I offered my services, and my equipment, but all of Lawrence's video clips (he's the guy producing these) were on the hard drives at the place that was closed.

[@marcos385]

Poor stadium. Hope the fans treat you good..

[@slick2go]

What's that game where you line up on two sides and have a wanker run in the middle of the two sides and everyone gets to slap them? That's what should be done to everyone who gave this a thumbs down.

[@G360LIVE]

I gave it a thumbs down because it's another video that's just virtue signaling. Last time was, "Hey, look at the women working on the stadium! Feminism! Yay!" and this time is, "Hey, look at us doing our part during the pandemic! Our footage has never been live, but we're going to act like it was!" It's just terrible. I'm so sad for the turn this documentary series has taken. I just wonder what they're going to virtue signal about in the next episode.

[@atribecalledjudah5436]

What’s with all the French?
