The Raiders’ new Black Hole will literally be just that in 2020, with no fans in the stands at Allegiant Stadium. That, apparently, the Raiders need a new nickname for the place where they play.
Owner Mark Davis goes with “Death Star.” Apparently because he never saw any of it Star Wars movies all the way through to the end.
“Welcome to the Death Star, where our opponent’s dreams come to die,” Davis explained to the team as they practiced there for the first time, via the Las Vegas Review Magazine. ‘My father always said that the greatness of the Raiders is in the future. Well, today that future really begins. This magnificent stadium was built on the backs of thousands of players, coaches, managers and fans, who have proudly worn the Silver and the Black for the past 60 years. ”
Coach Jon Gruden raved about the team’s new home.
“I can’t wait to share this with the city of Vegas and sports fans and entertainment fans from all over the world,” Gruden said. “This is a unique kind of joint. We just have to keep pitting this virus in the peat and opening these doors so people can enjoy it like we did today. Spectacular. An outside view. It has everything you can imagine. ”
Hopefully it does not have a thermal output port.
