With the first major event with fans allowed inside the $2 billion Allegiant Stadium held Saturday, officials got their first real-time run at managing the largest event venue in the state.
After sitting quiet since its completion last July, the stadium came alive as EDM star Illenium brought legions of fans to help him break in the facility.
Thousands descended on the stadium Saturday evening, many arriving after confronting heavy traffic around the site and up to $100 charges for parking.
With limited on-site parking at Allegiant, stadium and transportation officials took a blended approach to the crowd, using multiple modes of transportation with off-site parking lots.
