Is family friendly supposed to be a bad thing?

Personally, I'd welcome it, just have never thought it was possible at an NFL game.

I’ve seen it done in some soccer stadiums in Europe wheee they have family sections. Entry into those areas is predicated upon having a child under the age of 14 accompanying you (no child and you cannot go in even with a ticket).
Parents are limited to a maximum of 1 alcoholic beverage and there’s more stewards. It works pretty well, but it’s less than 5% of the stadium that has it. Kills atmosphere if it got too big.

A colleague with intimate knowledge of the Raiders LV stadium build confirmed today that they are likely to delay the opening of the stadium.

Which begs the question -- will we have to play in a temporary home, or will Oakland allow us to keep bumping the lease

Delay as in they won't start in Vegas until 2021? Saying there might be a lockout...so if delayed for a year that would be very bad in my opinion.

But they already started construction, at least groundworking. So, why should they do this when they think about a later opening?

Miami has a "family section" too. Have still never had so many f-bombs thrown my way. I'm a very low key guy. I don't talk smack to other fans and take ribbing from other fans extremely well. These were guys yelling f-bombs out of something other than fun. It was bad enough that I had two other Miami fans come over and say "We've called security" lol!

This happened on two occasions, in the same "family friendly" section. Really have no desire to ever go back.

It's not the F bomb itself but how it's used. Miami fans were directing them at other fans for no damn reason. Constantly. I didn't get worked up because I spent 7 years in the Navy. I've had a few f-bombs thrown my way lol! Just found it interesting for a "family section."

Comment for both...

I read today that the city/county is under staffed with Public Works personnel.That the number they need over a 5 year period is 12 or 13 additional employees.The figure they came up with of the cost would be 2 billion (yes,2 billion) dollars which is why I`m commenting on this post.That`s some expensive personnel.Personnel that would exceed the actual cost of the new stadium.

Whoever is in charge of making the decision of whether or not the Raiders can extend their lease,said that they would welcome an extention on the lease for "the right amount of money."

Here is what I read.
Even if I overlooked anything,it`s still a money grab IMHO.

Now, there may be a wrench thrown into those original plans.


Reports are surfacing which say that the completion of the stadium could be delayed due to the lack of staff in the Clark County Public Works department.

​​The public works department currently averages about 22 workers, but over the next five years, that average will jump up to 35 workers. The problem is, that's going to cost the county about $2 billion.


Not only that, but in order to build the new home for the Raiders, the public works department would need about 40 on-site and off-site transportation improvement measures.


The stadium is scheduled to be opened by 2020, but with this news of problems in the Clark County Public Works department, then it could be expected for the opening of the stadium to be moved back.

You're saying Clark County is going to pay each of its new Public Works employees over $30 million per year?

I think you got millions mixed up with billions.

I simply copy & pasted the article.No editing done on my part.
