Today on The Middle Ground, our guest was Las Vegas Councilwoman Nancy Brune, representing Ward 6. We had an engaging discussion about various topics, including the impact of professional sports on Las Vegas’ economy. I posed a question about how professional sports have shaped our city, highlighting the Goodmans' efforts in putting sports on the radar. While Las Vegas didn’t initially build stadiums in the city, it’s clear that these county-based developments have been transformative for us all. Councilwoman Brune emphasized how professional sports have played a vital role in diversifying our economy. She noted the initial opposition to the Raiders moving to Las Vegas and building Allegiant Stadium. However, Allegiant Stadium has proven to be a huge success, currently ranking as the #2 venue in the United States. Over 657,000 fans attended 15 touring events, generating over $118 million in ticket sales. As Nancy put it, sports have been a tremendous asset to Las Vegas, not just for entertainment but as a critical driver of economic growth and diversification.
