The Oakland Raiders will soon be the Las Vegas Raiders, and they have a brand new stadium in the City of Sin to go along with their new name. The stadium seats 65,000 people and is part of a reported $2 billion project that is already underway in the desert. The new arena will be called Allegiant Stadium. The Raiders played their last home game at RingCentral Coliseum in Oakland, California on December 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, putting an end to the multi-purpose stadium era. They did not go out with a win though, and lost to the Jags 20-17. Fans have gotten their first glimpse at the new arena thanks to widely shared video and were quick to react to it.

“Twitter reacts” is such a lazy excuse for an article. If I want to see people on Twitter’s reactions, I’d go to Twitter.

Reaction stories are beyond lazy, they’re propaganda most useful in the Trump era. And Twitter Reaction in particular has replaced “the South” and “New Yorkers” as voice number three in Ben Bradlee’s story rules for his reporters: ‘Get me one for, one against, and one kook.’

I just can't envision John Madden saying "RingCentral" Coliseum.

The new LV stadium looks awesome - they will slide the turf in and out of the stadium on trays.

A lot of folks from LA are going to go to the games, the Raiders are still the most popular team in LA.
