- On Wednesday, the Las Vegas Stadium Authority unanimously approved $75 million in public funds toward a $158 million upgrade to Allegiant Stadium's north entrance, enhancing pedestrian access and transportation infrastructure.

- Completion is targeted for late 2028, positioning Allegiant to host the 2029 Super Bowl, the College Football Championship, and NCAA Men's Final Four Basketball games.
