LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The National Football League announced Wednesday that they are "reimagining" the 2021 Pro Bowl, and as a result, Allegiant Stadium would get the honor of hosting the event in 2022 instead.

The new event will include "virtual recognition of the season's" best players and the NFL, players association and league partners will look to create other activities to replace the event.

This change will make for a packed NFL off-season in Las Vegas, as the city is also scheduled to host the 2022 NFL Draft to make up for losing this past year's edition of the event due to COVID-related changes.
