Open since 2020 and coined "The Death Star," Allegiant Stadium houses the Silver and Black, UNLV football, and other sporting events. Considered one of the most cutting-edge stadiums in pro football, Allegiant will be taken over by the NFL in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl.
The league plans to add 7,000 seats to make Allegiant's capacity 72,000 for the Super Bowl.
