The Raiders are officially starting a new football season in their new home–the Sin city. You read that right. Despite the challenges of the new normal, a new chapter in sports history will start in Las Vegas this 2020. The thing is, the games will be played at the Allegiant Stadium without fans.
In an official statement, principal Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis said that the safety and health of the stadium workers, staff, coaches players and fans are their priorities. Though, despite this setup, all PSL (Personal Seat Licenses) will get an inaugural season ticket package for this year, plus other exclusive items.
These health and safety restrictions also mean that we all need to wait for one more year before we see the beauty of the newly-renovated Allegiant Stadium. Back in 2017, they started renovating the 65,000-seat domed stadium, just a few months after the approval of their move from Oakland.
