It’s a Raiders nightmare. The two teams that will play for a NFL championship at their home stadium in Las Vegas will be their former Bay-area rivals, the San Francisco 49ers, and their division rival, the Kansas City Chiefs.

Indeed, Super Bowl 58 matches a high-profile showdown and Super Bowl rematch: 49ers vs. Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium Feb. 11. The Chiefs went to Baltimore and defeated the Baltimore Ravens, 17-10, while the 49ers hosted the upstart Detroit Lions and staged a second-half comeback to knock out the Lions, 34-31, Sunday.

Both the 49ers and Chiefs have played inside Allegiant Stadium in the past 13 months.

The 49ers defeated the Raiders, 37-34, in overtime Jan. 1, 2023.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs were in Las Vegas Nov. 26, 2023 and defeated the Raiders, 31-17, after the Raiders jumped out to a 14-0 lead.

 

Both teams’ fans filled Allegiant Stadium for their games against the Raiders. Expect a lot of red to pack Allegiant Stadium in two weeks.

TicketIQ, the no-fee secondary ticket market reseller, listed the cheapest ticket for Super Bowl 58 at $8,586.
