Allegiant Stadium drew more than 600,000 fans for Raiders and UNLV football games during their 2024 seasons.
The nine Raiders games — two preseason and seven regular season — drew 493,595 fans, according to Las Vegas Stadium Authority data. The team’s final home game, Jan. 5 against the Chargers, isn’t counted in the total, with that number not expected to be released until May’s stadium authority meeting with the 2025 Quarter 1 event activity report.
Based on the Raiders’ average attendance last season of 54,843, the 2024 season total should end up around 548,000.
Of the fans who attended Raiders home games, an average of 68 percent were from outside the Las Vegas Valley. The games with the largest percentage of out-of-town attendees were Oct. 13 against the Steelers at 76 percent (59,312) and Oct. 27 versus the Chiefs at 73 percent (59,101).
The Raiders-Steelers game drew the largest crowd of the season at 59,312. The Raiders-Jaguars game Dec. 22 drew the smallest at 46,561.
Raiders home games drew 547,026 in 2021, 551,656 in 2022 and 567,724 in 2023.
UNLV’s season, which included a top-25 ranking and second consecutive bowl appearance for the first time in school history, saw 139,747 fans attend home games. That’s the largest total for the Rebels since they began playing at Allegiant Stadium in 2020.
The largest crowd last season was for the Oct. 25 showdown against Boise State, which drew 33,918.
UNLV home games drew 93,652 in 2021, 80,419 in 2022 and 108,556 in 2023. That represents a 28 percent increase from 2023 to 2024.
The stadium authority’s attendance figures are considered actual attendance, or the number of fans who had their tickets scanned to get into a game. Actual attendance differs from announced attendance, which is the number flashed on screens at games and used in box scores.
Announced figures are the number of people who bought tickets to an event. Some of those tickets don’t always get used.
For instance, the announced crowd at the UNLV-Boise State game was 42,228.
