The Raiders are “adding new premium spaces for pregame festivities” at Allegiant Stadium, according to Mick Akers of the LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL. The team will see "four mobile, two-story, climate-controlled party trailers" added to Lot B of Allegiant Stadium for all Raiders home games and select other large events. Each space “will feature all-inclusive food and beverages, games, such as ring toss and cornhole, a 55-inch 4K HDTV for fans to watch the early slate of games, a 208-square-foot top deck, a Bluetooth soundbar and a retractable awning to provide shade.” Premium tailgate packages “start at $20,000 per game,” with each tailgating space able to “fit up to 20 people.” Raiders VP/Premium Sales & Service Panos Pappas said that adding the premium tailgating space, which he “likened to a 'party shack' was something fans have requested over the years.” He said, “There’s been a demand. There has been people calling our service team, our sales team and we’ve been talking about it for a couple of years and we thought it was something that we should probably do.” The convenience of not having to lug tailgating supplies such as grills, chairs and tables to a game; having air conditioning for those sweltering during early season games; and having catering food and beverages is what Pappas thinks “will be attractive to customers” (LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 6/20).
