It’s almost time — for the Big Game, that is. On Sunday, February 11, 2024, the NFL Championship is scheduled to be played at the new Allegiant Stadium, home of the NFL’s Vegas Raiders and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Rebels college football team.
The state-of-the-art stadium officially opened on July 31, 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the opening did not feature any fans in attendance, and events with fans were delayed until it was deemed safe to have public gatherings. But then the fans came.
Of course, this is the first time the Big Game has been played in Las Vegas and the state of Nevada. Stadium officials say fan access will not be the same as regular season games—parking, entry, and security access will be transformed just for the event. We’re on board with that. We’re all about security.
And if you’re going to this Big Game (or any Big Game for that matter), one of the things we can help you with is your Pinkerton Crime Index risk score at the neighborhood level (below). If you know your risk score, you make informed decisions, like where to stay and how to get to the stadium for the festivities.
While the other info on the images below won’t help you stay safe, we thought we’d put it out there — one day you may need to know that the stadium’s nickname is “The Death Star.”
Know your risk. Be safe. Go team.
