quote:

The team announced in an email to fans Monday that it plans to conduct the 2020 season in Allegiant Stadium sans fans.

"There is nothing more important to the Raider Organization than the health and safety of our players, coaches, staff, stadium workers and fans," the club said in the statement.
"After intensive consultation with healthcare officials and state and community leaders, we have made the difficult decision to play the Las Vegas Raiders 2020 inaugural season at Allegiant Stadium without fans in attendance. This decision is based on our commitment to protect the health of our fans and the entire community in response to the coronavirus pandemic affecting us all.

"This decision also ensures fairness to you, our PSL holders, given the challenges and potential inequities associated with determining who can and cannot attend specific games if the stadium were to operate at a reduced capacity. While the current situation is not how any of us envisioned celebrating the opening of Allegiant Stadium, when circumstances permit we look forward to sharing an unparalleled game day experience in the magnificent stadium you helped build."

I wonder how much of that, if any, has to do with seating / fans amenities delays due to delays in construction because of covid.

No reason to even open it this year then. Just play at another venue until fans are allowed.

It could be pressure from the Governor. He’s been a shut down business & banned the proscription of HCQ from the jump. The dude is bad news!!

Where are you staying? We booked some rooms at the mirage and they aren’t even open again yet. Quite a few casino/hotels are still closed

We cancelled. While we love gambling and sports books it wouldn’t be worth it for our group without the night clubs/ real pool parties etc.

We cancelled as well. Not spending that kind of money for a half assed vegas and not being able to go into the game. Looks like we are going to meet some friends in Bristol for the night race assuming NASCAR is still allowing fans. It won’t be the usual night race atmosphere but our group can make anything fun

After my interactions with Raider Nation members, it’s my opinion that a slow, painful death is too good for most of them.

Me good mate Jason and I were planning on making this our annual Saints road trip. Last year we did Seattle.

That was before we cancelled the NFL and our Saints though.

Make sure this "massage therapist" is in Nye County and not Clark County.
