Stadium is overrated as shite. The Benz Dome in Atlanta is the best stadium in the country. Jerry World does Allegiant better too. It took forever to get out of Allegiant after the USC game too.

Took my boys to Wrestlemania this year. Once inside, I enjoyed it, but holy shite, getting in and out was a pain. Thank god for the tram at Mandalay Bay once we got to it.

The lack of bathrooms on the top section is absurd. Our bathroom for USC game had 3 stalls with a line backed up to at least 50

see MFL stories about how much money they make and how much the franchises are worth

also see NFL stories about how often they try to extort more tax money every chance they get or else they will threaten to move

Keep hyping that shite dumbasses

I thought we didn't like the "rich".

It is the highest grossing stadium in the US and #2 in the entire world.

People have complained about that entrance a ton, even in this thread, which is exactly why they're quickly fixing it when the stadium is making the money it is as I said above.

Economic Boost: Beyond ticket sales, Allegiant Stadium generated an estimated $1.1 billion local economic impact for Las Vegas, with 62% of attendees traveling to the city specifically for stadium events.

The Raiders are seeking $75 million from LVSA, which would come from an existing taxpayer fund allocated to Allegiant Stadium-related improvements and will privately fund the remainder.

This shite is so absurd. Millionaires get taxpayers to build their palace, and now we are asking for millions more 6 years later? What a world


That has been the Bensons for decades to state taxpayers.

Good location and looks great from the outside. Inside, the Superdome is better IMO.


Agree 100%. It looks great from the outside, but compared to the new stadiums built generally in the same time frame the experience felt disappointing. Narrow concourses, not great bathrooms, not many special amenities. I've been to every NFL stadium built in the past 17 years except for Levi (49ers), that includes Met Life (NY), US Bank (Minneapolis), MB Stadium (Atlanta), SoFi (LA), Jerrys World (Dallas), all of those felt nicer the Allegiant.

That said, I do think the upgrade will help.

The exit wouldn't have been as bad if we hadn't shite the bed in the game.

I would bet this is due to the Wynn Field Club in one of the end zones. Look up the prices to be in there. It’s insane.

The taxpayers get their money back and then some because of the sales tax earnings. Too many of you are retarded and don’t understand how business works.

We can’t build anything in this country anymore. The cost of construction has skyrocketed and the product is worse than ever.

Hosting the Superbowl. There's your answer to why they need an upgrade.

I

The NFL probably didn't like some aspects of Alligient Stadium and told Las Vegas that if they want to host the Superbowl again, they need to make upgrades to make the stadium more to their liking.

I don’t know if I’ve been in a stadium with worse acoustics than Allegiant.

Yep. That stadium gets EVERY stadium concert tour on the market. They have hosted Summerslam once and Wrestlemania twice, and has the CFP Natty and Super Bowl in the coming years.

That place prints money for Nevada and stays occupied with events.

You forget how cool it is for people to ignore the benefits companies bring, they think money just falls from heaven. If youre online you have to hate succesful people and companies.
