‘Allegiant Stadium’ quoted Sandra Douglass Morgan, Las Vegas Raiders President, as stating, “Being part of the Las Vegas community is more than just convening on gameday, it’s about consistently showing up for our community in the way they show up for us. Our Owner, Mark Davis, has always said our commitment to this community goes far beyond the field. We are dedicated to growing Las Vegas into a global destination for sports and entertainment while staying true to the Raiders’ legacy of unity, excellence and service. It’s an honor to give back to a community that has given us so much.”
