Before the COVID-19 pandemic prompted Raiders owner Mark Davis to not have fans at Raiders home games at Allegiant Stadium, they started this exercise once before.
Now it seems like it’s going to happen, big-time. Allegiant Stadium is hiring as many as 2,200 ushers, security, food, cleaning and customer service workers for the Raiders home games in 2021.
The Raiders play nine regular season homes in a 17-game schedule, which the owners have expanded from 16 regular season games.
Sports venue workers are a necessary part of the sports industry in Las Vegas because they are the first workers you meet as a fan in the arena, stadium or ballpark.
In 2020, UNLV’s football team inaugurated Allegiant Stadium with fans on Halloween.
There were only a limited number of stadium workers for the Oct. 31 UNLV game because only 2,000 fans, or three percent capacity of the 65,000-seat domed stadium, were permitted to attend the game.
Here is the website if you’d like to apply for a stadium job during Raiders games. These empty seats are expected to be filled with fans in the fall.
