Throwback Tuesday!

Doesn’t it seem funny to hear all these progress reports at Allegiant Stadium when the world is supposed to be on on lockdown?

Last June, a truss at Allegiant stadium was out up, then taken down because “several ill-fitting trusses” didn’t fit. This caused a huge stir amongst the local ticket scalpers who purchased 60% of the season tickets. If the stadium is delayed, there are no refunds. The ticket scalpers are S.O.L.

J. Tiberti of JA Tiberti Construction, said at the Jan 16 2020 Stadium Authority that the Raiders should get “used to selling out”. He was bragging to Marc Badain . That’s when it clicked for me. Vegas sells out because the locals here buy the tickets and scalp them on Stub Hub. Garth Brooks sold out in one day AFTER the Governor shut down all businesses in Nevada. Do you think people are buying tickets during a global pandemic? Nope. In the case of the Raiders, 60% of the tickets sold to locals in Las Vegas. I’ve yet to meet an Oakland Raider fan in Vegas.
