With full capacity crowds likely for Raiders games this fall, fans can rest assured tailgating will be a thing in Las Vegas.
NFL
With the possibility of increases in COVID-19 restrictions going into effect in California, the teams could play their home games at Allegiant Stadium.
On Saturday, the day after the substantial completion milestone, Anthony and Tonie Silva, recent transplants from Salt Lake City to North Las Vegas, set up a full tailgate spread in Ford Lot J on the south end of the stadium.
The Raiders are constructing their Henderson home to be open to the community, unlike the model most NFL franchises have with their headquarters and training facilities.
Personal seat license sales for the $2 billion 65,000 fan-capacity domed stadium sit at around 96 percent sold, with the sales process expected to wrap up by Thanksgiving.
The franchise’s value has increased nearly $1.5 billion dollars since talks heated up in 2016 to uproot the team from Oakland, California, and move them to Southern Nevada.
