The Raiders, of course, have called Las Vegas and Allegiant Stadium home for the past four seasons since their move from Oakland. The past three seasons have been with fans in the stands.
While the Raiders’ started slow in games at Allegiant Stadium (where opposing fans have attended games in droves) they have made strides. According to a recent tweet by NFL analyst, the Raiders have put together a 10-7 record at home during the past two seasons combined.
