The Raiders return to Allegiant Stadium for Year 3 in Las Vegas Sunday and this time the fans will pour in without proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
In Year 1 in 2020, not a single fan was allowed in the domed football stadium because of the coronavirus pandemic. In Year 2 in 2021, fans were required to show proof of vaccination.
On Sunday, the fans will arrive ready for Year 3 in Las Vegas.
LVSportsBiz.com has documented their team practices at Raiders headquarters in Henderson and also is listing RTC bus service to Allegiant Stadium for game day rides from six satellite locations.
The bus service for the Raiders’ 2022 season launches Sunday with the Raiders’ first preseason home game against the Minnesota Vikings and continues for all 10 preseason and regular season home games. It’s $2 each way. Routes and pick-up locations for Raiders home game:
