The Las Vegas Raiders and Waymo Announce First-Ever Autonomous Ride-Hailing Partnership at Allegiant Stadium
The Las Vegas Raiders have announced a multi-year partnership with Waymo, naming the company their Official Ride-Hailing Partner. This collaboration is notable as it represents the first partnership between a professional football team and an autonomous vehicle company, aiming to enhance the door-to-door fan experience at Allegiant Stadium.
Fans traveling to Allegiant Stadium using Waymo will benefit from a dedicated pickup and drop-off area, alongside clear wayfinding signage to facilitate a smooth experience during games, concerts, and other major events.
In addition to transportation, the partnership will offer fans exclusive experiences not available with standard tickets. Waymo riders can look forward to unique opportunities throughout the season, including participation in a "Kickoff Kid" program, pre-game field passes, and upgraded VIP seating.
Waymo and the Raiders are also focused on making a positive impact in the Las Vegas community through local engagement initiatives. The collaboration aims to extend its benefits beyond game days by supporting neighborhood programs throughout the year.
"Fans come to Allegiant to experience once-in-a-lifetime moments, and getting in that mindset all begins and ends with the journey," said Sandra Douglass Morgan, President of the Las Vegas Raiders. "Partnering with Waymo reflects our drive to lead the industry in innovation and provide fans the best experience. Most importantly, it gives them a safe, reliable autonomous designated driver so they can focus entirely on enjoying the event."
Waymo's Chief Marketing Officer, Suzanne Philion, expressed pride in the partnership: "We're proud to partner with the Las Vegas Raiders and Allegiant Stadium as we continue forming strong and lasting relationships across the Las Vegas community. We have a proven history of helping riders safely navigate major events, and partnering with the Raiders and Allegiant Stadium allows us to create a convenient and magical experience for riders."
