The Las Vegas Raiders' move from Oakland to the sin city was meant to add revenue to the team. The new home for the silver and back was right next to the strip, allowing easy access for fans across the country. Of course, the opening season of Allegiant stadium did not allow fans. It hurt the pockets of the front office after creating such a significant investment.
2021 was their first chance to fill the season of what they call the death star. Fans from other fan bases flew into Vegas regularly and helped fill the stadium consistently.
