Schofield-based Merrill Steel will install the structural steel for the Las Vegas Stadium as part of a joint venture with Mortenson | McCarthy.

Merrill Steel will provide design-assist, detailing, procurement, fabrication, painting, freight, and erection services for the stadium.

“This large and complex project is a perfect fit for our business model,” stated Fred Schwalbach, president of Merrill Steel. “Merrill has been a key fabricator for many professional sports stadiums, and we are excited to be adding this state-of-the-art Las Vegas Stadium to our portfolio.”

The Las Vegas Stadium will provide a world-class home for the Raiders upon the team’s relocation in 2020.

The joint venture with Mortenson | McCarthy team will build the $1.9 billion domed stadium, which will also serve as host for University of Nevada, Las Vegas Rebels football and a variety of other sporting and large scale entertainment events.

The facility will feature 65,000 seats, expandable to 72,000, a retractable natural-grass playing field, large operable walls that open to stunning views of the adjacent Las Vegas Strip, and a variety of premium spaces throughout all levels.

"This is a complete turnkey project for us," Schwalbach added, "starting with the completion of the design. Rolling into the production of the shop drawings. We will fabricate the steel, drill it, cut it, weld it and finish paint. That will all occur right here on site."

Privately owned and operated for over 50 years, Merrill Steel maintains manufacturing operations in Schofield, Wis. and Springfield, Missouri.
