On average, 12,000 pounds of kitchen prep cuttings and end of event food scraps are collected per large stadium event.

This waste is provided to a local Las Vegas livestock farm and is used as feed for farm animals.

Allegiant Stadium is the first Stadium in the U.S. to divert cigarette waste from the landfill and convert that waste into energy. The stadium is improving landfill diversion, aiding in fire prevention, contributing to water improvements, and enhancing overall community health.

74,900 Watts of Energy have been created from this program – enough energy to charge 14,993 cell phones for 1 hour!

Through a local Las Vegas vendor and in collaboration with the grounds crew, Allegiant Stadium diverts all grass clippings. With the addition of the Biomass machine, field grass clippings are placed in the machine and turned into biochar. A total of 158,680 pounds of grass clippings along with external landscaping waste and compostable leafware was composted in 2024.

At the end of each turf event, Allegiant Stadium team members work together to collect used rubber turf pellets for recycling.

Although these rubber pellets are impressively small, they have recycled over 89,380 pounds of rubber pellets and various rubber materials in 2024.

One of the most prominent energy efficient features of the Stadium is its roof. The roof is composed of ETFE (Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) which provides benefits of climate adaptability, insulation performance, self-cleaning, a long lifespan, and is a recyclable material.

Sustainability was top of mind during the construction process of Allegiant Stadium. The venue features a high efficiency cooling tower, chiller plant, and air handling units. LED’s throughout the Stadium also lessens the electrical burden.

The Engineering Team diligently tracks and reviews energy optimization data in real time to effectively make decisions on Allegiant Stadium’s daily and event driven energy centric operations.

Allegiant Stadium is 100% powered by Nevada-sourced renewable energy.

Meters on Allegiant Stadium’s cooling towers and other equipment and fixtures allow Stadium management to consistently track and make decisions on proper water management practices.

During the planning and construction phases of Allegiant Stadium, water efficient fixtures were selected to mitigate excessive water use on a daily and event basis. An estimated average of 535 million gallons of water is saved due to these high efficient fixtures.

Green landscaping practices are in place to develop systems surrounding seasonal water scheduling, mulching, and composting of all landscaping waste. The stadium also features a system for subsurface dewatering stations, which discharges groundwater that has been collected and expels the water into the plant beds around the exterior of the stadium.

Each year, on or around America Recycles Day, fans are engaged to participate in waste diversion-centered educational and entertaining activations.

In 2024 alone, the Las Vegas Raiders and Allegiant Stadium have worked with Las Vegas Livestock to divert 2,300,120 pounds of sod to their farm for reuse as livestock bedding.

Allegiant Stadium is the first NFL Stadium to have a biomass machine onsite. This biomass machine can process 650 pounds of food scraps, paper products, and field grass clippings per 24 hours. The 650 pounds of material is minimized to 7 – 15% of its initial volume and turned into biomass that will be combined with general soil to create viable compost material for plants. Greenhouse gases are mitigated through this process by reducing the amount of hauls off premises.

On Average, 100 pounds of unclaimed lost and found items are donated every 1 to 2 months to a local women's and children shelter.

Since Fall of 2022, the Stadium has donated all unclaimed lost and found cell phones & electronics to a cell phone donation nonprofit that wipes the devices clean and donates them to victims of domestic abuse.

The PAC-12 took a proactive approach to sustainability and featured Allegiant Stadium’s waste diversion efforts during in game features.

Partnering with world-class events such as the PAC-12 Championship Game allows sustainability to be affect broad and diverse audiences within Allegiant Stadium.

Allegiant Stadium consistently hosts world-class private events throughout the year. The venue is consistently hosting multiple private events a week and takes an active approach to support and enhance each client’s sustainable efforts.

Team members collaborate with clients to ensure sustainable choices are made in regard to waste, food selections, and materials used at each event.
