“Monday Night Football” is throwing itself a birthday party in Las Vegas.

The Raiders’ first game in Allegiant Stadium coincides with the 50th anniversary of the league’s first “Monday Night Football” broadcast, and ESPN is going all out in its coverage.

The MegaCast, starting at 5:15 p.m. Monday, will include simulcasting ESPN’s coverage of the Saints-Raiders matchup on ABC, marking “Monday Night Football’s” first time on the network since 2005.

ESPN2, meanwhile, will show the game while hosts Rece Davis and Kirk Herbstreit throw a virtual celebration, bringing in current and former players, famous Raiders fans and various celebrities and musicians for conversations.

The telecast will open with Tim Brown narrating a piece about Raider Nation and the relocation to Las Vegas. Profiles of Allegiant Stadium will air throughout the game. The Killers will perform atop Caesars Palace during halftime.












And yes, even JaMarcus has a legacy brick at the stadium.

ESPN is no doubt testing Herbstriet for the future of MNF.

I love watching the games from my house or a bar. But that still won’t top the in game experience. It’s not worth it for every home game anymore, but they can’t replace the game day atmosphere.

I can’t wait for them to beat me over the head with how racist I am for being white.

That roof looks awfully low. It must be the angle. I could punt a ball and hit it.

All jokes aside, that stadium looks incredibly luxurious.

Probably decent actually. The Saints always do big ratings and lots of people will tune in to get a look at the Death Star.
