Raiders Survey Season Ticket Holders On Game Day Fan Festivals At Stadium

The Las Vegas Raiders are surveying season ticket holders to determine if the fans are interested in a game fan festival at the team’s new Allegiant Stadium.

Here’s the survey sent to season ticket holders.

The season ticket holder told LVSportsBiz.com that the Raiders wanted to know if fans prefer free pre-game festivities, exclusive free game festivities or none at all.

Raiders games in Oakland were also known for their tailgating events.

Raiders President Marc Badain has said that fans in Las Vegas will have tailgating space available on game day near the stadium even though the 62.5-acre site on the west side of I-15 across from Mandalay Bay has only 2,700 parking spaces. Last year, the Raiders acquired about 17 acres near the 65,000-seat domed stadium for another 2,700 parking spaces.

Meanwhile, multiple news reports say the Raiders will have their pre-season training at the team headquarters and training center in the city of Henderson near the Henderson executive airport.
