The Las Vegas Stadium Authority recently held a meeting attended by numerous members of Laborer’s Union Local 872, who showed support for the Oakland Athletics by wearing custom team gear. During the meeting, the authority reviewed the latest room tax revenue report and noted that Allegiant Stadium has seen attendance exceed 6 million since its opening in 2021. The stadium, which cost $2 billion to build, continues to be a major venue in Las Vegas. The authority also approved future home game dates for the UNLV football team at Allegiant Stadium, including games scheduled for August 29, 2026, August 31, 2030 against James Madison, and September 17, 2033 against Sam Houston. Athletics President Marc Badain provided an update on the progress of the Athletics' new stadium project in Las Vegas, stating that "vertical work" on the facility is expected to commence no later than October, despite the stadium's projected cost rising above $2 billion. Additionally, UNLV moved a home football game to Week 0 to accommodate the Terence Crawford-Canelo Alvarez fight, though details about compensation for this change were queried but not disclosed.
