An attendance report by the Las Vegas Stadium Authority showed that events at Allegiant Stadium have “drawn 3.6 million people since mid-2021 when fans were first allowed inside,” according to Mick Akers of the LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL. The report tracked by the stadium authority “includes events between 2021 and September.” It showed that 22 Raiders home games “lead the way" with 1.2 million attendees. There have been 26 concerts that “drew more than 1.1 million fans,” and "24 other large ticketed events" such as one-off soccer matches and the NFL Pro Bowl drawing 828,159 and 15 UNLV football games bringing in 212,739 people. Included in the total are "373 smaller private events" which amassed 210,638 since the stadium has been open. During the most recent attendance quarterly report, the “most attended event” over that span was the Sept. 24 Raiders versus Steelers game that saw 58,964 fans. Of those, 64% of attendees “were from out of town.” An Aug. 26 Beyonce concert was the “third most-attended event” and “saw the highest number of out-of-state attendees” during the quarter with 66% of the 44,702 fans not being from Las Vegas ( LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 1/18 ).
