Unlike the Arizona facility (which does not have a varsity tenant) Allegiant Stadium also has an artificial turf field, which is primarily used for college football games. This design was chosen because UNLV prefers to play on an artificial turf surface, and also due to concerns that use of the grass field by two teams would cause excessive wear to the playing surface. The artificial turf is placed directly on the stadium's concrete floor, and is rolled up and stored under the stadium when the tray is rolled in. <ref>{{cite news|last=Velotta|first=Richard|title=Greener on the inside|url=https://www.reviewjournal.com/business/stadium/challenge-for-las-vegas-raiders-stadium-is-moving-grass-field-inside-1568670/|work=Las Vegas Review-Journal|date=January 17, 2019}}</ref> There are 2,700 parking spots surrounding the stadium and 6,000 in proximity to it.

In order for the team to relocate to Las Vegas, a new stadium was required, since Sam Boyd Stadium was undersized for the NFL and there were no other professional-caliber stadiums in Nevada. The Raiders had previously played a preseason game in Las Vegas at [[Cashman Field]] against the [[Houston Oilers]] during the 1964 [[American Football League]] (AFL) preseason and owner Al Davis considered relocating the team there. On March 21, 2016, when asked about Las Vegas, Davis said, "I think the Raiders like the Las Vegas plan," and "it's a very very very intriguing and exciting plan." Davis also met with [[List of governors of Nevada|Nevada Governor]] [[Brian Sandoval]] about the stadium plan. On April 1, 2016, Davis met with UNLV officials and toured Sam Boyd Stadium to evaluate whether it could serve as a temporary home for the team. On April 28, 2016, Davis said he wanted to move the Raiders to Las Vegas and pledged $500&nbsp;million toward constructing the proposed $1.4-billion domed stadium.<ref name="DavisPledgeVegas">{{cite news|title=Raiders owner willing to give $20M toward Las Vegas stadium|url=http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000656715/article/raiders-owner-willing-to-give-500m-toward-las-vegas-stadium|publisher=NFL Enterprises, LLC|website=NFL.com|agency=Associated Press|date=April 28, 2016|access-date=April 30, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Gutierrez|first=Paul|title=Raiders owner Mark Davis says he wants to move team to Las Vegas|url=http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/15420427/oakland-raiders-owner-mark-davis-says-wants-move-team-las-vegas|website=ESPN.com|publisher=ESPN|date=April 28, 2016|access-date=April 30, 2016}}</ref> "Together we can turn the Silver State into the silver and black state," Davis said.<ref name="DavisPledgeVegas" /><ref>{{cite news|title=Oakland Raiders owner willing to spend $500 million to move team to Vegas|url=http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2016/04/28/oakland-raiders-owner-willing-to-spend-500-million-to-move-team-to-vegas.html|publisher=[[Fox News Channel]]|agency=Associated Press|date=April 28, 2016|access-date=April 30, 2016}}</ref> In the spring of 2016, the board of directors of Las Vegas Sands rejected Adelson's stadium proposal.

This design was chosen because UNLV prefers to play on an artificial turf surface, and also due to concerns that use of the grass field by two teams would cause excessive wear to the playing surface. The artificial turf is placed directly on the stadium's concrete floor, and is rolled up and stored under the stadium when the tray is rolled in. <ref>{{cite news|last=Velotta|first=Richard|title=Greener on the inside|url=https://www.reviewjournal.com/business/stadium/challenge-for-las-vegas-raiders-stadium-is-moving-grass-field-inside-1568670/|work=Las Vegas Review-Journal|date=January 17, 2019}}</ref> There are 2,700 parking spots surrounding the stadium and 6,000 in proximity to it.

In order for the team to relocate to Las Vegas, a new stadium was required, since Sam Boyd Stadium was undersized for the NFL and there were no other professional-caliber stadiums in Nevada.

On March 21, 2016, when asked about Las Vegas, Davis said, "I think the Raiders like the Las Vegas plan," and "it's a very very very intriguing and exciting plan." Davis also met with [[List of governors of Nevada|Nevada Governor]] [[Brian Sandoval]] about the stadium plan. On April 1, 2016, Davis met with UNLV officials and toured Sam Boyd Stadium to evaluate whether it could serve as a temporary home for the team.
