I guess tailgating is right out.
Documents generated in connection with an effort to reach a joint-use agreement between the Raiders and UNLV at the venue include a proposal by the Raiders to use thousands of parking spaces at the UNLV campus, according to Adam Candee of the Las Vegas Sun. And here’s the twist: The UNLV campus is more than three miles from the site of the new Raiders stadium.
The stadium site will have 2,400 parking spaces, only 15 percent of the legally-required spots for the 65,000-seat venue. The Raiders have proposed using nearly 80 acres on the UNLV campus for parking, including 4,200 spaces at the Thomas & Mack Center. This means that thousands of fans will have to be shuttled to and from the stadium for every game. |

Fans who want to go watch the actual game? Of secondary importance
Salaries can't keep up with the cost of inflation for most Americans, yet somehow even shitty teams can get by charging an arm and a leg for a ticket.

I do have a big problem with governments handing over taxpayer dollars to billionaires so they can build places for their players to play. You could put that money in a helicopter and drop it over the city and get a better ROI than building a sports venue.
UNLV will be compensated. Highly unlikely they will say no.
LOL. I was thinking the same thing Pete. and at $60 no less.
No. The new stadium site will not have room for the required parking spaces.
No. They are proposing having only 2,400 spots at the new stadium. By comparison, MetLife, which was mentioned in this thread as having some off-site parking as well, has something like 28,000 on-site spots.
