Raiders season ticketholders rejoice.
You may have been banned from attending Las Vegas Raiders home games at Allegiant Stadium during the NFL team’s inaugural season at the new domed $2 billion venue project in 2020 because of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
But the Raiders contacted their thousands of season ticketholders this week to invite them to check out their seats on May 26 or either June 2. They have to RSVP by 5 PM May 23 to schedule a date to visit their seats. Here’s the invite receive by season ticketholders.
The Raiders hit the jackpot by moving to Las Vegas.
Not only is Southern Nevada paying a debt service of more $1 billion over 30 years so that it could contribute $750 million to the construction of the 65,000-seat stadium, the Raiders generated a record $550 million in personal seat license revenue and more than $300 million in stadium founding partner sponsorship deals.
Most fans rolled over their 2020 season ticket deals to 2021. Even though the Raiders lost ticket revenues from not allowing fans in the building because of the COVID-19 pandemic last season, owner Mark Davis did quite well with the $750 million stadium subsidy, the $550 million personal seat license revenue and the hundreds of millions of dollars in stadium founding partnerships.
All fans who visit their seats must comply with all local, state and federal COVID-19 protocols. I’m sure people’s temperatures will be taken and fans will be required to wear masks.
Also, the tickets to see stadium seats are non-transferable and not for resale.
Plus, this invitation for the seat visit is not an invite to a stadium tour.
The stadium is expecting 65,000 fans for the Garth Brooks concert at the venue on July 10. Assuming the stadium can have 100 percent attendance capacity, it should be a good test run on traffic and parking issues because the stadium site itself has just more than 2,000 parking spaces. There’s also a big UFC fight event at T-Mobile Arena on July 10.
