The Superbowl has begun and, as with every year, the hype is getting to a lot of people. Gamers are no exception to this, with many putting down their controllers to watch this national spectacle. However, some are taking it a step further by bringing the Superbowl to their virtual worlds!
One particular player has taken it a step further and invested over 100 hours to replicate a Stadium to celebrate Super Bowl 58 in Minecraft. We are no strangers to seeing players recreating massive structures, and even worlds, in Minecraft, but seeing this level of dedication is always inspiring to see.
YouTuber shares his recreation of the Las Vegas Superbowl stadium in Minecraft
This new massive creation comes from YouTuber Bubbaflubba, who shared his process of creating the Las Vegas Allegiant Stadium. His time-lapse of the build begins first with the football field and adds the decals of the Las Vegas Raiders on either side of the field. The stadium is also built on an angle just like its real-life counterpart! Bubbaflubba then proceeds to work on the first set of seats, making sure to include the tunnels through which the athletes would enter the field.
They then proceed to detail the second set of seats along with the boxes, making it as accurate as possible. Once the upper set of seats is completed, they move onto the exterior of the stadium as well as the various amenities found within the location. They then show the building logo, surrounding parking lots, field tray, and highways being constructed before taking the audience on a tour of the final creation.
The video goes super in-depth on the building process and breaks down how every level was created. In the walkthrough, we can see that they have created some staple inclusions such as the Modelo Lounge, the Raider Torch, and multiple bars and restaurants. The final structure has 6 enormous floors and hosts over 60,000 seats crossing the 200-level mark. While the video is just 17 minutes long, the stadium took over 100 hours over the course of four months to build.
Bubbaflubba tried to be as accurate as possible, but it must be noted the limitations of building materials in Minecraft. So, while the real version of the Allegiant Stadium has a translucent roof for natural light, this would require a lot of artificial light sources in game to recreate faithfully.
This isn’t Bubbaflubba’s first rodeo when it comes to massive Minecraft builds
The creator has a large portfolio of intricate and impressive builds recreating iconic landmarks from across the country. Some of his previous builds include The Luxor from Las Vegas, New York’s Times Square, and even the Statue of Liberty!
One of their most popular videos with over 1.4 million views is the recreation of all the tallest buildings from every state in the US. Bubbaflubba even shared his stadium creation on the Raiders subreddit and was met with only positive responses for his dedication to the craft and attention to detail.
