It’s officially happening. Las Vegas is the Raiders’ new home, and they are now formally calling themselves the Las Vegas Raiders. While Oakland will always be a part of their DNA, it’s now time to open a new chapter of sports history. I’m sure you are just as excited as I am. I just love seeing all the positive changes happening around us because of them.
The Las Vegas Raiders are transforming city for the better.
- There are tons of Raiders-inspired memorabilia and stores around. The Raiders are everywhere, even on local TV stations.
- The Las Vegas’ real estate industry is benefiting a lot of from this. Since the Raiders officially announced their move to Las Vegas, local real estate sales increased. In addition to that, more and more investors are showing interest in the luxury and high-rise market.
- The new Allegiant Stadium is opening new doors for more businesses. As the property’s value increases, more opportunities are given to new tenants that would benefit from their place near the stadium. The Raiders’ arrival is set to give a huge spike to our city’s tourism.
- More jobs for our friends! The big move will surely bring tons of job opportunities to locals. Making the stadium already created thousands upon thousands of construction jobs. With the continuous construction of different establishments around the stadium, more promising opportunities will be created.
There really is no other city like the Sin City. Because of the Raiders’ relocation, more people will be able to witness how beautiful our city is. The Raiders are known for their big fan base, so playing for the very first time in Las Vegas this fall would bring in thousands of people from all over. For many years, the NFL had zero relationship with Vegas. Well, now it seems like we are in the middle of the festivities. Our city will also host NFL’s 2020 draft.
Last March 2017, the Oakland Raiders’ move to Las Vegas was officially approved by the NFL. What immediately came after that are brilliant initiatives in order to immerse the team in the Las Vegas community.
The Raiders business operations and training are now based in Henderson, while their home games will be at the Allegiant Stadium. Once done, the Allegiant Stadium will not only be the home of the iconic Raiders. This megastructure will ultimately turn into an international events destination. It is a climate-controlled venue with a capacity of 65,000, so both locals and visitors can enjoy the events!
