NVRamsFan Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 New drone video of it. The Occulus is a 120 yard long scoreboard that weighs 2.2 million pounds. It is 4k from end to end inside and out. They expect to employ 80-85 people to create content for it. It houses 260 speakers and hosts 56 5g antennas. It took 43 trucks to haul the Occulus to the stadium. The stadium itself will seat 70,240 with the ability to add another 30,000. It's slated to host Super Bowl 56. It's also scheduled to host the 2023 NCAA football championship game. The Mountain West Conference and the Pac-12 will have a new Bowl Game in the stadium, supposed to start this year we'll see about that. It is being added as a site for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, it was left off the initial list of stadiums because it wasn't completed at the time of the bid. It is also involved in the 2028 Summer Olympics. And for some the biggest deal would be Wrestlemania 37 hosted there in March of 2021. It's also home to the Rams and Chargers. Attached to the stadium is also a 6,000 seat performance arts venue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in the original planned cost of the stadium was 2 billion dollars. Somehow they've gone over 6 billion in construction costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a San Diego native, I can testify that those projects always cost like three times the budget. I mean, they could have made the budget 6 billion, but then it would have been like 18 billion dollars when all was said and done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I explained why others did. Regardless of that going 4 billions dollars over your 2 billion dollar budget is a debacle. Its mismanagement of funds at its finest. To put it in perspective, you could buy three of the raiders brand new vegas stadium for the cost of this thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there’s a lot more in the $6 billion number than just the stadium. There’s also a full years delay due to losing the first year to heavy rains. In the end who cares how much it costs? Stan and his partners are paying for everything, there’s no public money involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hint a hell of a lot more than it costs in Vegas. Also Vegas is being built on the public dime, that changes everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
