Raiders Media Guide Showcases Allegiant Stadium On The Cover For Second Straight Season
By Alan Snel of LVSportsBiz.com
Back in the pre-internet olden days, the hard-copy team media guide was a valuable tool for reporters and hard-core fans.
These days, every NFL team has a media guide online, but not every team has a printed copy.
The Raiders still print their media guides and for the second straight season Allegiant Stadium was featured on the cover.
The media guides were distributed to reporters at the Raiders HQ media room today.
About one-third of the NFL teams offer media guides exclusively online, but the Raiders still print their guides.
One of the last additions to this year’s guide was the Raiders’ new team president, Sandra Douglass Morgan, who was named president by owner Mark Davis on July 7, just about a month ago.
The Raiders’ creative team took an Allegiant Stadium photo and made the image seen on this year’s cover. It looks like there’s an outer space Death Star theme going on there, too.
Interestingly enough, the last time active Raiders players were on the media guide cover was 1991 when the team’s offensive line was pictured.
For the 2020 media guide, the Raiders featured the Nevada logo on the cover for the franchise’s first season in Las Vegas.
Allegiant Stadium is why the Raiders are in Las Vegas. Southern Nevada contributed $750 million in public dollars toward building the 62,500-seat domed venue.
No wonder it’s on the cover — once again.
