Extra Home Game For Raiders Season Ticket Holders In 2021 Does Not Mean Extra Game Ticket Charge; ‘Same 10 Game Cost’
By Alan Snel of LVSportsBiz.com
Las Vegas Raiders season ticket holders will be treated to a ninth regular-season home game in 2021 thanks to the NFL’s new 17-game regular season schedule.
The Raiders will host the Chicago Bears besides the other 16 regular season games.
The AFC teams are hosting the 17th game this upcoming season.
But that extra home game will not mean an extra game charge for Raiders season ticket holders.
“Same 10 game cost,” explained Marc Badain, the team president. That’s the usual 10 games, which covers eight regular season games and two pre-season games.
“This is a monumental moment in NFL history,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said on NFL.com. “The CBA with the players and the recently completed media agreements provide the foundation for us to enhance the quality of the NFL experience for our fans. And one of the benefits of each team playing 17 regular-season games is the ability for us to continue to grow our game around the world.”
The 17th game will feature teams from opposing conferences that finished in the same place within their division the previous season. The AFC was determined to be the home conference for the 17th game in 2021. That’s why Allegiant Stadium will host that ninth regular season home game.
