Look: Renderings for proposed Raiders stadium in Las Vegas released
As the Oakland Raiders' pursuit of Las Vegas continues, detailed proposals for the most important issue at hand are beginning to take shape.
Updates for a proposed stadium development were on the agenda at Thursday's meeting of the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee.
Renderings for the stadium were shared by ESPN's Arash Markazi:

The official cost breakdown was also provided at the meeting and estimates the project to cost $1.9 billion, confirming previous reports. The most recent proposal has the Raiders contributing $500 million, public contributions accounting for $750 million, and another $650 million coming from private funds.
Getting the $750 million in public money approved is, of course, the most significant step in the process for the Raiders. A recommendation from the SNTIC should come at some point in the near future, and potentially as early as Thursday.
