Las Vegas Raiders stadium looking sweet!

[RINGLEADER]

In Vegas for CES and asked my cab driver about how they’re going to manage traffic on game day. He told me it’s going to be a clusterf*** as they were supposed to take a golf course adjacent to the stadium and turn it into parking spaces. Unfortunately, while the city approved the plan to buy the course for this purpose, the guy who owns it was convicted of some federal crimes and the income from the golf course is going to repay a sizable debt owed to the feds. So they don’t want to let go of the golf course revenue. As a fallback the Raiders have gotten small parcels and will be shuttling people to games from all over the city. Even the roads from the strip won’t be refitted into walkways in time.

Not sure how true any of this is, but he talked like he knew his stuff. It was interesting to hear nonetheless.

Also the locals name for the stadium is “the Death Star.”
