In light of the fact that the Jaguars organization is in the process of the planning and execution of a stadium rebuild I thought I'd share the following video that could give us an idea of just what goes in to building an NFL stadium from the ground up. It's a 3.5 hour video that details the building of the LV Raiders new stadium.

I've watched an hour of it so far and it's pretty fascinating to see everything that has to happen to make something like this a reality. Of course, I like to know the how and why of things so that makes it interesting for me. The sheer magnitude and ambition of getting this project done not in five years but in 31 months, is pretty crazy. Any of us who have built houses or worked on any construction project knows delays are inevitable and I don't know yet if they finished on time but that's an insane timeline for a project this large. 

Jacksonville is not Las Vegas so the organization and all the trades won't have many of the same challenges but they'll have plenty their own. If they can even get started. Here's hoping! 

Anyway, enjoy!
