Overview

• VAI officials now decline to give a specific opening date and plan to announce one roughly 9–12 months ahead of opening, with concert tickets or hotel rooms to go on sale beforehand.
• Construction continues near State Farm Stadium, with the conference center rising to three stories, concert video boards installed, and offices on 95th Avenue nearing a six‑to‑eight‑week move‑in.
• Glendale voters in May rejected Proposition 401 but approved Proposition 402 by similar margins, and the developer says Prop 402 supersedes 401 and preserves the project’s land‑use rights.
• Glendale’s city manager stated that a rapid opening is not the goal and emphasized the city’s support for building an unrivaled destination.
• Lawsuits over tax benefits and parking remain part of the backdrop, and the Mattel Adventure Park component has shifted timelines with no new status provided.
