Allegiant Stadium earns top U.S. ranking for second consecutive year

Backed by record-breaking-capacity crowds, show sellouts and top-grossing international events, Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, NV, has been named as Billboard Magazine’s top-grossing stadium in the United States and the second highest in the world for 2025.

Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders, will be officially recognized as No. 1 in the U.S. and No. 2 in the world in Billboard Magazine’s “2025 Year In Music/#1s” issue on December 13th, which celebrates top artists, tours, and venues across the globe, highlighting their impact on the entertainment industry. This is also the second consecutive year that Allegiant Stadium has earned this top U.S. ranking.

Live music and entertainment events at Allegiant Stadium earned more than $281 million in gross revenue during the magazine’s reporting period, which covers October 2024 through September 2025. 2025 included concerts by Billy Joel & Sting, George Strait, Mayday, AC/DC, Post Malone, Kendrick Lamar, Coldplay, Shakira, The Weeknd, Beyoncé and Chris Brown. The incredible year also included WrestleMania 41, the most successful WrestleMania in history, and championship boxing with Canelo vs Crawford, setting new records for attendance and live-event revenue. On the field, the stadium also hosted the Las Vegas Bowl, 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup and Rugby League Las Vegas.

Allegiant Stadium continues to generate a significant economic impact for the city. According to the Las Vegas Raiders Impact Report for 2025, to be 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.

“Earning this distinction for the second year in a row is an extraordinary honor. It reflects our commitment to excellence, innovation, and the people we serve,” said Sandra Douglass Morgan, president of the Las Vegas Raiders. “Receiving this honor in consecutive years is a testament to the continued passion and dedication of our entire team.”

“This significant achievement underscores the Allegiant Stadium team’s commitment to delivering truly exceptional experiences,” said Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA). “Allegiant Stadium’s robust calendar of diverse sporting events and internationally acclaimed programming continues to be a driving force in maintaining Las Vegas’ status as the Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World.” “This year’s success is a testament to the strength of our team and our local partners who make it all possible,” said Andy Gorchov, general manager of Allegiant Stadium for Legends Global, which manages the stadium. “We’re grateful to the agents, promoters, artists, and athletes who trusted us with their events – and, most importantly, to the fans who bring Allegiant Stadium to life.”

Allegiant Stadium will close out 2025 with the final home games of the Las Vegas Raiders season and the Las Vegas Bowl and continue to feature a full calendar of major events in the New Year, including Rugby League Las Vegas, Luke Combs, WrestleMania 42, Morgan Wallen, Ed Sheeran, AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, and Foo Fighters, with numerous additional events to be announced in the near future.
