Sources told me that Allegiant Stadium is expected to be the site of Super Bowl LVIII in 2024.
The Las Vegas Raiders and the NFL did not comment. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported the news.
The Allegiant Stadium in Southern Nevada is expected to host future Super Bowls after the Raiders moved from Oakland in 2020.
It is possible that more seats and standing room only placement could be added to the landing area under the Al Davis Torch, as well as in the Wynn Field Club on the other side of the north end zone.
The Raiders play their games on a grass field. UNLV plays on an artificial turf field that lowers the playing surface, which could provide for the addition of a lower seating arena. It's possible that the rule requiring 70,000 seats for the Super Bowl could be changed.
The next two Super Bowls will be played in California and Arizona, with the championship game coming to Las Vegas in 2023.
A scheduling conflict forced the Super Bowl to be moved to New Orleans in a year's time.
It is a big change for the gambling mecca, which in the past was not allowed to have commercials during the Super Bowl to promote the city as a tourist destination. The Raiders' relocation to Las Vegas took three years to complete, but the league's changing view of legalized gambling has led to a relaxed policy.
The Pro Bowl will be hosted in Las Vegas in February of 2022. The draft was supposed to be held at Allegiant Stadium in 2020, but the Pandemic made it a virtual affair.
