HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) – With a stadium for the relocated NFL Raiders about halfway complete just off the Las Vegas Strip, a team headquarters and practice facility is taking shape in suburban Henderson.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports the $75 million campus includes a structure enclosing an artificial turf football field, a three-story office building and three outdoor natural grass playing fields.
Team President Marc Badain says the facility near Henderson Executive Airport will be the center of team operations after the move next year from Oakland, California.
Project chief Don Webb says it’ll have features like black glass and a ribbon motif similar to the $1.9 billion, 65,000-seat stadium about 15 miles (24 kilometers) away.
He says the public will be able to use some facilities, watch practices and eat at the cafe.
