Las Vegas Stadium Authority Weighs a $158M Allegiant Stadium North Entrance Upgrade
The $158 million project would add a plaza, event deck and transportation upgrades to improve access for 65,000 fans, officials said.
- The Las Vegas Raiders are seeking $75 million from the Las Vegas Stadium Authority to fund a $158 million North Entry upgrade at Allegiant Stadium, designed to create a new "front door" with pedestrian decks and a public plaza.
- Raiders President Sandra Douglass Morgan stated the North side has become a "pressure point" for guest experience, with infrastructure stretched to capacity. The project aims to improve crowd flow and event space.
- Over 20,000 fans walk the Hacienda bridge to reach the stadium for games and events, according to Stadium Authority chairman Steve Hill. The project requires $83 million in private funding to complement the public contribution.
- Authority members postponed the decision during Thursday's meeting, scheduling a special vote for Sept. 2. The $75 million would come from surplus room tax revenue allocated to stadium improvements.
- Construction is expected to begin after the current season, targeting completion before Super Bowl 63 on Feb. 11, 2029. Allegiant Stadium previously hosted the 2024 Super Bowl.
