In the 2024 general election, Allegiant Stadium drew over 4,200 voters to cast their ballots on Election Day, demonstrating the unique position of stadium facilities to provide an enjoyable voting experience and strengthen civic engagement. Voters at Allegiant Stadium were younger and more likely to be first-time voters compared to other polling locations in Clark County, with the experience drawing widespread, bipartisan support from voters, election officials, and the Las Vegas Raiders. This report explores the benefits of stadium voting by harnessing the power of sports to shape the fan-voter experience.
