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.

Looks like an alien invasion craft has landed on the LV Strip. Interesting the stadium only seats 65,000; low capacity = high ticket prices.

Interesting

One would think a big black object in the middle of the desert would get real hot in the summer heat.

It looks like a giant black tire from a monster truck.

I do not expect to see this place sell out often, unless they allow gambling and prostitution to go on the field.

“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.

They’ll be lucky to fill half the seats as some of us have long memories...

Who paid for it?

[C19fan]

Mostly the local government financed by an increase in hotel taxes.

In other words - TAXPAYERS.

Don’t we pay for ALL millionaire’s playhouses?

[BlueStateRightist]

So how many Raiders games will actually be decided by the quality of play on the field and not the “vested interests” of some of the players and coaches?
