Allegiant Stadium’s new founding partner is San Manuel Casino. The stadium which will become operational next year is the new home of the Raiders NFL American football franchise. With this, the Raiders will boost the entertainment quotient for fans.

Beginning the 2020 season, apart from being the founding partner, the 24/7 gaming destination will also be the official sponsor of the Raiders. The pact has been entered into with the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians.

In the capacity of the venue’s official premium ticketing and sponsorship agency, the Legends Global Partnerships signed on the dotted line to secure the founding partnership with San Manuel Casino.

San Manuel already supports nine other professional sports teams across the NFL, NHL, MLB and MLS leagues.

“The popularity of the Raiders in Southern California is unmatched,” said Loren Gill, CEO of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians.

“Through this partnership we are thrilled to offer our guests more access to high quality sports and entertainment,” exulted Gill.

Raiders President Marc Badain added, “Together we remain aligned in our dedication to providing our fans with the best in-class experience.”

It may be recalled that Las Vegas-based travel company Allegiant enlisted as the naming-rights sponsor of the 65,000-seat stadium in August this year which is still under construction. Terms of the deal were not made public but reports stated that Allegiant is likely to pay the Raiders between $20m and $25m per year in cash and in-kind services.

Last month, it came to the fore that the project budget of the avant-garde stadium had shot up by a further $90m (£73m/€82m), bringing the total cost of the project to $1.97bn.
