It’s been a game changer for Las Vegas.
As Allegiant Stadium marks its first half-decade of existence, observers and stakeholders said the venue has surpassed the lofty expectations set by officials in the years before construction on the $2 billion stadium began.
Through March, according to the latest Las Vegas Stadium Authority activity report, 5.8 million people have attended events at the stadium just west of Interstate 15 and north of Russell Road. Given that Allegiant has hosted multiple major events since March, stadium authority chairman Steve Hill said it’s safe to say that over 6 million fans have been through its gates since it opened.
