LAS VEGAS, NV (August 21, 2026) – Allegiant Stadium has been recognized as the AFC's Best NFL Stadium and Best NFL Stadium Food in the 2026 USA TODAY 10Best Readers' Choice Awards, following nationwide fan voting. Overall, the stadium ranked second in both categories.
The recognition marks another milestone for Allegiant Stadium, which was named Pollstar's "Stadium of the Year" in the US in April 2026 and continues to establish itself as one of the world's premier destinations for sports, entertainment and live events since opening in 2020.
"Being recognized by fans as one of the best NFL stadiums in the country and one of the best NFL stadiums for food is a tremendous honor," said President Sandra Douglass Morgan. "These awards reflect the incredible work of our team and partners to create an experience that goes beyond the event itself. From the food and beverage offerings to the atmosphere and service, we're focused on giving every guest a memorable experience from the moment they arrive."
Allegiant Stadium, which has helped redefine the modern stadium experience through innovative design, technology, hospitality and a robust food and beverage program, continues to generate significant economic impact for the city. Its culinary offerings feature a wide range of choices designed to reflect the diversity and energy of Las Vegas while giving fans quality options throughout the venue.
According to the Las Vegas Raiders Impact Report for 2025, which was released in January 2026, 62% of visitors came to Las Vegas specifically for a live sporting, music or entertainment event at Allegiant Stadium, resulting in an estimated $1.1 billion in economic impact. The award-winning venue is also the future host-site for the 2027 College Football Playoff National Championship, the 2028 NCAA Men's Final Four and Super Bowl LXIII.
