Stadium Authority Approves $75M in Public Money for Allegiant Stadium Upgrade - The Nevada Independent
The project will add a plaza, event space and ride-hailing area, with the Raiders covering the remaining $83 million.
- On Wednesday, the Las Vegas Stadium Authority unanimously approved $75 million in public funds toward a $158 million upgrade to Allegiant Stadium's north entrance, enhancing pedestrian access and transportation infrastructure.
- Stadium Authority Chairman Steve Hill stated the upgrade is necessary to maintain competitiveness against new venues in Nashville, Washington, Denver, Chicago, and Buffalo, calling Allegiant a "critical community asset" driving tourism.
- The Las Vegas Raiders will cover the remaining $83 million, while public funds come from surplus room tax revenue created by the 2016 Senate Bill 1 law that provided $750 million for the original stadium construction.
- Plans for the north entrance include a new plaza, event decks, and a future Boring Co. Vegas Loop station, streamlining access for fans arriving from the Las Vegas Strip via the Hacienda Avenue bridge.
- Completion is targeted for late 2028, positioning Allegiant to host the 2029 Super Bowl, the College Football Championship, and NCAA Men's Final Four Basketball games in the coming years.
