Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium: Unique Features Set It Apart

Las Vegas is gearing up to host the first-ever Super Bowl in the city, and all eyes will be on the futuristic Allegiant Stadium. The stadium, affectionately referred to as the Death Star by its owner, Mark Davis, boasts a unique design and several standout features that set it apart from other NFL stadiums.

One of the most notable aspects of Allegiant Stadium is its playing surface. Despite being a dome, the Raiders insisted on playing on natural grass. As a result, the field spends most of its time outside, soaking in the sunlight, and is rolled in on a tray for games. Similar to the field transfer system used by the Arizona Cardinals' stadium, last year's Super Bowl host, this setup ensures that the grass remains in optimal condition.
