That this history-making chapter in American sport should be enshrined in a joint venture of construction powerhouses Mortenson and McCarthy Building Companies-it makes perfect sense. The project’s planned engineering and construction achievements were making headlines before ground was even broken. The new landmark humbles the ostentatious Vegas skyline with a sleek, almost aerodynamic elegance that seems both out of place and right at home in the neon-lit oasis-the black, glassy colosseum juxtaposed against the austere desert backdrop like an enormous art object in a jeweler’s case. As an architectural statement, Allegiant Stadium trades on the boldness and beauty of a stark simplicity. It seems fitting that a move as momentous as that of the Raiders from Oakland to Las Vegas should necessitate construction of an engineering and design marvel like Allegiant Stadium.
