(LAS VEGAS, NV) – The Las Vegas Raiders require all home game participants to provide evidence of COVID-19 vaccination via CLEAR’s free mobile app and Health Pass feature so fans can play games without wearing a mask. The policy will take effect for the first regular season home game on September 13 against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. The Raiders are the first team in the National Football League to announce vaccination / mask-free requirements.
The Raiders implemented the change in accordance with a new emergency policy from Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak regarding major events. “Health and safety has always been a top priority,” said Raiders owner Mark Davis. “In consultation with Governor Sisolak and other community leaders, this policy ensures that we can operate at full capacity without masks for fully vaccinated fans throughout the season,” said Davis.
The Raiders will offer fans the opportunity to get vaccinated before the Raiders’ home games on site at the Allegiant Stadium so that newly vaccinated fans can wear a mask.
The Raiders announced a policy requiring all full-time employees in the organization’s business and football staff to be vaccinated in May. Stadium management company ASM and stadium concessionaire Levy have also introduced mandatory vaccinations for all full-time employees at Allegiant Stadium.
The Raiders will hold a press conference on August 17th at 12:00 noon at Allegiant Stadium to provide details of the program and introduce CLEAR representatives to discuss the verification process. Raiders season ticket holders will receive an email with additional information and instructions.
