It's no secret that Allegiant Stadium was created as a home for the Las Vegas Raiders, but they aren't the only ones taking advantage of this state-of-the-art facility. Everyone from WWE to the MLS has held events in the new stadium and even more will in the future. Allegiant Stadium is one of the premier venues in the country, and it's had a big impact on Las Vegas.

According to the stadium's website, $2 billion was spent on construction and the venue is raking in over $620 million a year. Whether that's true or not is anyone's guess and depends on what numbers they are going by, but that is still a lot of money flowing into the Las Vegas economy!

One of the best events by far had to be when Allegiant Stadium played host to WWE SummerSlam on August 21, 2021. The event was headlined by John Cena versus Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship. The undercard was also stacked with surprises, including a return by Becky Lynch and Bobby Lashley defeating Goldberg by referee stoppage. This all made for quite an interesting show and even prompted the company to decide to come back in July of 2022 for their Money in the Bank pay-per-view.

Another big event was the Las Vegas Raiders' first home game at Allegiant Stadium, which took place on September 21, 2021, against the Baltimore Ravens. The game went into overtime, where Derek Carr connected with Zay Jones for a walkoff touchdown to end things 33-27. While that might not sound like a big deal, it was the first time fans were allowed inside the stadium for a Raiders game due to the pandemic. Unfortunately, the Raiders have gone 2-6 at the venue in total and will probably have to look well past 2022 to get a positive record.
