Raiders Set Up Tailgate Experience Outside Allegiant Stadium For Sunday’s Las Vegas-Buffalo Game
By Alan Snel of LVSportsBiz.com
It might not have the ambiance of the old tailgating experiences back in Oakland, but the Raiders in Las Vegas will unveil a new game day tailgate deal for $400 Sunday that allows one car and five participants in a parking space with social distance across from the team’s new Allegiant Stadium.
Workers set up barricades and an outdoor TV screen on one end of the parking lot north of the 65,000-seat domed stadium that will not have fans inside the venue for the Raiders home games because owner Mark Davis said if all fans can’t fill the stadium then none will be allowed to attend Raiders games in this age of the coronavirus pandemic. Here’s a look at the screen.
The Raiders are charging $400 for a spot and $500 for a VIP experience.
For $400, you get access for a vehicle with a maximum of five guests. Fans will have access to two parking spaces so that one is dedicated to tailgate space, while the other allows for maintaining social distancing.
Food and drinks are included.
For the $500 deal, you get a closer front row space for your car.
While fans are not allowed to attend Raiders games, UNLV is working on a coronavirus protocol plan to allow fans to attend the UNLV football game with University of Nevada, Reno on Oct. 31 that would allow 10 percent of the venue to be filled.
The Raiders host the Buffalo Bills Sunday for a 1:30 p.m. start. The Raiders inaugurated the palatial new stadium Sept. 21 with a win over the Saints on Monday Night Football.
