Narrated by Dirty Jobs' Mike Rowe, Episode Four of From The Ground Up, examines two key elements of Allegiant Stadium's main structure. With the footings in place, the building goes vertical, with elevator cores serving as the building's backbone and the first of the decking that will be the main entrance.

The team continues pouring concrete decks around the perimeter of the stadium and raising the cores in preparation of the first major steel lift - over 113,000 lbs! Steel is a major structural and aesthetic component of the building. The first major piece of the "skeleton" gets placed, which means a workforce increase to almost 1,000 workers on site.

The entire team reflects on where they've come this past year. What's been accomplished and what is yet to come. Raiders owner Mark Davis makes an impromptu visit to the site to check on the work, and meet face-to-face with the men and women turning the vision into reality. And, we delve deeply into the process of pre-casting concrete and visit the off-site plant where that work is being conducted.
