Pretty sure that should have been blue font.
I sure hope so! I'm actually a little concerned with the construction seeing we have very little latitude time wise. As it is I'm only getting 3 seasons in the new stadium before retiring to Florida/S.C. Sure don't want another year in the Mausoleum...:ROFLMAO:

I have a buddy who works construction (in Oregon) and they're talking about shutting down for two weeks. He has a friend who's working the Rams new stadium as well, so he feeds me updates via him sometimes.

If they do shut it down for a while, they could, in theory, have us move there sometime in the middle of the season. I'm sure things would be worked out because of how crazy the circumstances are.

If I hear from my buddy that scuttlebutt is thinking that the stadium work is going to shut down I'll post here though.

My intuition is that work will continue on the stadium. It's not as if the people are super close to each other when they're building the roof.

New NFL stadiums could miss deadlines

The two NFL stadiums due to open later this year, in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, remain on track. With the world quickly coming off track, the stadium plans could change.

If/when the U.S. government (or the California or Nevada governments) impose sweeping restrictions like those in Italy and Spain, progress on both venues likely would slam to a halt.

It’s a simple proposition. If citizens are prohibited from leaving home only to go to the store, the pharmacy, or to get gasoline, they won’t be allowed to leave home for work. And of all the jobs that now can be done at home, working on a stadium cannot be.

So unless housing will be constructed at the stadium site for all stadium workers, there will be no way for the stadium workers to work on these stadiums. Which could keep the Raiders in Oakland, the Rams in the Coliseum, and the Chargers in a 30,000-seat soccer stadium for another year.

Hopefully, we learned from their mistakes and don't let the Coronavirus get that far out of control. I'm not sure how stopping the work on these stadiums would make that big of a difference in stopping the spread of the illness. ISo they go to work in mostly open spaces, get gas, go shopping then go home. It might be worth testing workers who show any signs of the illness.

That's my thinking as well. You can have a lot of people working on it at the same time without them being close to each other at all.

Raiders Decline Option To Play 2020 Season In Oakland

An option existed for the Raiders to play a fourth lame-duck season in Oakland, in the event their Las Vegas stadium was not ready on time. But the Raiders will not take it, according to Josh Dubow of the Associated Press.

The COVID-19 pandemic has injected uncertainty into the Raiders’ stadium situation, but they notified officials in Oakland they will not exercise an option to play at the Oakland Coliseum in 2020.

The Raiders still plan to play in Las Vegas; 2020 has served as their relocation window for years.

As for the stadium construction amid this health crisis, Dubow adds that the project remains ongoing. Nevada has shut down numerous businesses, and casinos have been temporarily closing. But the stadium project has been deemed “essential” and is continuing as scheduled. The $1.9 billion domed stadium remains scheduled to open this summer.

The Raiders received approval to relocate in 2017 but played the 2017, ’18 and ’19 seasons in Oakland. UNLV’s current home venue — Sam Boyd Stadium — was deemed a non-starter as a temporary Raiders site years ago. Mark Davis also did not give serious consideration to sharing Levi’s Stadium with the 49ers, so it appears, for the time being, the Raiders will power through this coronavirus pandemic in an effort to have their stadium ready.

California “stay at home” order likely will stop L.A. stadium construction

If/when there’s a football season this year, it will involve the christening of a new stadium in L.A. That stadium will now face a challenge to its ongoing construction.

California governor Gavin Newsom has issued a “stay at home” order for the entire state, effective Thursday night. The order applies until further notice.

Details are scant, but if everyone must “stay at home” then the people who travel from their homes to the Inglewood construction site won’t be able to make it to work on Friday, and they won’t be able to make it until the “stay at home” order is lifted.

While the completion of SoFi Stadium means little in relation to the issues with which the nation currently is dealing, it’s another tangible intersection between the COVID-19 pandemic and the NFL. This one could ultimately keep the Rams and Chargers from playing in their new stadium in September — and if the stadium is delayed until 2021, it will force the league either to move Super Bowl LV to a new location or waive its rule requiring that any stadium that hosts the league’s premier event must be open for a full year before the year in which it hosts the Super Bowl.

UPDATE 11:25 p.m. ET: According to RamblinFan.com, the order will apply to the stadium construction workers, since they do not fall within the scope of essential services that are exempted from the mandate.

UPDATE 11:30 p.m. ET: Per a source with knowledge of the situation, stadium construction officials will not be commenting on the situation until they better know how the order will affect them.

MOD EDIT: Sounds like they don’t know.
