The NFL's Las Vegas Raiders has announced new Covid-19 precautions for the upcoming season.
According to NFL.com, The Raiders will require all game attendees to be vaccinated as a part of their "vaccine/no mask policy" for the upcoming season.
In an official statement, the Raiders said:
"The Las Vegas Raiders will require all attendees at home games to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination through CLEAR's free mobile app and Health Pass feature, allowing fans to attend games without wearing a mask."
To further accommodate fans, the stadium is even offering vaccinations onsite to attendees that are not vaccinated and would allow them to enter but require those individuals to wear masks.
"Health and safety has always been our number one priority," Mark Davis, the Raiders owner, said. "After consultation with Governor Sisolak and other community leaders, this policy ensures that we will be able to operate at full capacity without masks for fully vaccinated fans for the entire season."
