For its construction, 28,000 tons of structural steel were used, which, for example, is heavier than the Statue of Liberty. The stadium has 44 escalators and more than 2300 televisions.
This year, it had the honor of hosting Super Bowl LVIII, for the first time in its history. On Sunday, February 11th, the massive event that captivates American sports and turns on televisions around the world took place as we all witnessed the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the San Francisco 49ers.
On Wednesday, June 26th, Allegiant Stadium will make its debut in the CONMEBOL Copa América United States 2024™, when it hosts the match between Ecuador and Jamaica for Group B. Ecuador achieved fourth place in the CONMEBOL Copa América™ on two occasions, while Jamaica is having its third participation in the tournament.
Two days later, on Friday, June 28th, it will be the venue for the Group C clash between two CONMEBOL Copa América™ champions: Brazil (the third with the most titles, with 9 trophies) and Paraguay, which won it twice. In addition, both teams played three finals of this tournament against each other: two victories for Verdeamarelha (1922 and 1949) and one victory for Albirroja in 1953.
The Allegiant bids farewell to the tournament on Saturday, July 6th, when it hosts the quarter-finals between the first-placed team in Group C and the second-placed team in Group D.
Before the start of the CONMEBOL Copa América™, the Allegiant will host the beginning of the Australian Rugby League.
