The Raiders are requiring vaccinations for tonight's Monday night football game...

for the first game in their new Allegiant Stadium. It was just reported on local news. Vaccines will also be available.

That's welcome news. After the opening weekend of NFL football with several games and stadiums full of shoulder-to-shoulder, unmasked fans, makes one wonder if similar policies were in place in the other NFL venues, not to mention all the college games that have been going on for a couple of weeks now?

If not, we'll never get rid of covid as it's craziness for super spreader events to continue.

I posted about it here the day they announced it

The Raiders are also 1 of 3 teams (Bucs and Falcons are the other two) who've reached 100% player vaccination status.

GO RAIDERS!!!

Not sure how stringent they'll be, but I've heard reports from some recent vaccine proof concerts, and they weren't even checking half the people, and the rest got a cursory look at their proof.

Anyone wanting to attend the Raiders vs Ravens game tonight at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas, will have to present a vaccine passport. They must download the Clear app, take a selfie, and provide proof of vaccination within the app:

About 1800 people have either requested a refund for their tickets or rolled them over for next year. That's only a little more than 2.5% of the 65,000 capacity tickets sold.
