After waiting it out a year with the rest of Raider Nation, this week team owner Mark Davis finally took in a Raiders regular season home game at Allegiant Stadium.
Fans didn’t let the 100-plus degree heat deter them from carrying out a Raider tradition: tailgating. Some of them also lined up to receive COVID vaccination shots.
The Great Sphinx of Giza replica outside the Luxor on the Las Vegas Strip boarded the ship to Raider Nation Thursday, donning a pirate patch over one of it eyes.
The team announced last month that it would require all fans attending Raiders games at Allegiant Stadium to be vaccinated.
The Raiders will require proof of COVID vaccinations before entering Allegiant Stadium this season. Vaccinations also will be provided on site before games.
Based on secondary ticket market prices, four of the five most sought-after tickets in the NFL are for Raiders home games.
Located off Las Vegas Boulevard and Hacienda Avenue, between the Mandalay Bay and Luxor, the central area of the Stadium Walk is a 130,000 square foot tailgate area located on the southeast corner of the Luxor.
TickPick Vice President of Operations Jack Slingland said Raiders tickets are the most in demand in the NFL. “The Raiders are now the hottest ticket in the NFL,” he said.
