A mere two months ago, the Raiders’ Allegiant Stadium was looking to hire 4,500 part-time workers for the Raiders’ inaugural season and other events at the palatial domed 65,000-seat venue.
But that was before Raiders owner Mark Davis said two weeks ago that no fans will be allowed to attend Raiders home games at Allegiant Stadium because of the novel coronavirus pandemic that has claimed the lives of 175,000 Americans.
So, Allegiant Stadium’s website says currently the stadium is no longer looking to hire workers.
“We do not have any active hiring needs for Allegiant Stadium at this time,” the stadium website said.
It did list the stadium’s partners like S.A.F.E. Management, which handles security.
This is from the website:
The Raiders practiced at their new stadium Friday for the first time when players participated in drills in the massive venue. Typically, the team practices at their new training center and headquarters in Henderson about 10 miles to the south and east.
It’s unclear when fans will be allowed to attend events at Allegiant Stadium. The overall stadium project budget was $1.976 billion, including $1.4 billion to build the stadium itself. Southern Nevada is contributing $750 million to help build the stadium.
