Raiders will host the Cardinals at Allegiant Stadium … if there are preseason games
We have another known date in Raiders’ history on the calendar: Aug. 27, 2020.
That is the date of the first home preseason game as the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium, the Las Vegas Review Journal reported on Thursday.
The Raiders will first host the Arizona Cardinals, then their second home preseason game is against the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 3. The Raiders travel on road preseason games at the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers, on dates still yet to be determined.
The Raiders open their Las Vegas era at Allegiant Stadium in the regular season in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints on a Monday night game Sept. 21.
Of course, all of these dates are in limbo because of the coronavirus pandemic. Even if there are games, we don’t yet now if fans will be allowed into the stadium.
