Future dates
[edit]Some pointers for the future dates. First, in the tenant list, the precedent in other similar articles has been to have the planned future start year, followed by an en-dash but no word or number after, followed by "planned" in small letters --> (2020–) planned. "(2020–future)" is awkward and redundant since 2020 is also in the future. Having "planned" in small letters after the date lets the reader know this isn't set in stone, but helps them to know which teams are involved. For any parameters like "opened" or "ground broken", dates shouldn't be placed in them until the event actually happens since "opened" and "ground broken" are past tense. Even if a specific date has been scheduled for those events, it shouldn't be visible until it actually happens. Such dates can be mentioned in the body of the article, but should be avoided in the infobox. Be sure to read WP:CRYSTAL. Stadium plans and dates can and often do change fairly regularly for a variety of reasons. Never mind, at this point, the land for this stadium has yet to even be purchased, last I read. While Wikipedia can certainly mention plans, they should always be mentioned in the context of being plans as opposed to the current state. Likewise, for Sam Boyd Stadium and the Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum, the tenant lists should remain at "present" until the respective teams actually leave, regardless of when a specific date is announced for this new stadium's opening. In other words, there shouldn't ever be a future end year in a tenant list.
On a related note, there is no reason to pipe Oakland Raiders to "Las Vegas Raiders" (i.e. [[Oakland Raiders|Las Vegas Raiders]]). Simply use the Las Vegas Raiders link, currently a redirect to Oakland Raiders#Las Vegas, Nevada. Once the Raiders officially move, the article will be moved accordingly. Oakland Raiders will eventually become a separate article on the franchise's time in Oakland, or be redirected to History of the Oakland Raiders, similar to Los Angeles Raiders, which is a redirect to History of the Los Angeles Raiders. --JonRidinger (talk) 18:57, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
- It looks like your instructions were ignored/overlooked as the now-confirmed groundbreaking date (less than three weeks from today) is listed in the infobox. Rather than remove it, can't we just change the phrase "Broke ground" to "Groundbreaking"? Since it's a noun, it makes sense for both future and past tense, does it not?

- The labels are set in the infobox at {{Infobox venue}}, and can't be changed in individual articles. - BilCat (talk) 15:57, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
- So should we just remove the labels "Broke ground" and "Opened" for now? I agree with JonRidinger that it makes no sense to list a future date for a past event. Pistongrinder (talk) 18:34, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
- The labels are set in the infobox at {{Infobox venue}}, and can't be changed in individual articles. - BilCat (talk) 15:57, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
- The people adding this will just add the label back. However, I do agree the information should be removed. There are actions that can be taken to prevent editing against consensus, either by protecting the article or blocking the offenders. - BilCat (talk) 19:56, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
- I agree, I am the one who added the broke ground date to the infobox, and I will remove it until that date. SportsFan007(talk) 20:02, 25 October 2017 (UTC)SportsFan007
- I just removed it, but thanks for offering. Wikipedia takes some getting used to, so don't let that discourage you. - BilCat (talk) 20:10, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
- @BilCat and Pistongrinder: Out of curiousity, would it be ok to have it as:
Broke ground November 13, 2017[1] (planned)? SportsFan007(talk) 20:15, 25 October 2017 (UTC)SportsFan007- I'd be OK with that, but I also think the way it is now after BilCat's edit is the best option. This will all be a moot point in a few weeks anyway. For now, the information is in the body of the article, and that should suffice. Good discussion.

[edit]Cox Communications Deal
[edit]@Toohool: All of the articles say that the Cox Commucations name will be on the stadium. SportsFan007 (talk) 23:59, 28 March 2019 (UTC)SportsFan007
- No they don't, for example: [1] [2] [3] [4]. All you've cited is one unreliable blog source. If Cox had made a deal for the name of the stadium, it would be very prominent in all of these articles. Toohool (talk) 00:13, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Toohool: Ah ok, fair enough, over and out. SportsFan007 (talk) 00:15, 29 March 2019 (UTC)SportsFan007

Renaming "Other Potential Events" section in article
[edit]Now that the stadium has been completed and a variety of major events are returning from Covid-19, it seems awkward that this section remains in its current form within the article. I recommend adjusting this section by simply re-titling it to become "Other Events," focusing it on major miscellaneous events held at Allegiant Stadium (beyond what the other sections already cover). As I see it, the fact that stadium management explores hosting potential events there does not seem noteworthy for this article anymore, whereas that information seemed relevant during the construction process. I didn't want to move forward with this adjustment unless there is consensus. Pistongrinder (talk) 21:18, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
Map Error
[edit]The coordinates listed are correct but the details of the dot on the Las Vegas map appear to be incorrect. Allegiant Stadium is located west of I-15 between Russel Rd and Mandalay Bay Rd, running E-W and between Dean Martin Rd and Polaris Rd running N-S. 2600:8801:1299:D200:213E:4360:CE72:55C9 (talk) 04:31, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
