Las Vegas Raiders announced this Monday an alliance with the Viva Aerobus airline that aims to bring more Mexican fans to the games of the black and silver team of the NFL to its field, the Allegiant Stadium.
“One thing the Raiders and Long live Aerobus What they have in common is that they are very focused on their people. With this partnership, more Raiders fans will be able to come home,” said team president Sandra Douglass Morgan.
The alliance that includes naming Viva Aerobus as the official Mexican airline of the Raiders, will also present a plane with the colors black and silver in the future. The executive recalled the regular season games that the Raiders played in the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City in 2016 against the Texans, and in 2017, against the Patriots, both with admissions of over 75,000 spectators.
“The Raiders have a great fan base in MexicoI think this partnership is strong and they’re going to help us bring these fans to our games at Allegiant Stadium, that’s the goal.”
The Mexican airline joins Allegiant Air, a partner in USA which has the naming rights to the team’s stadium, which was represented at the press conference by its vice president and chief marketing officer, Scott DeAngelo.
“The NFL It’s growing a lot in terms of viewership in Mexico, so having a partner like that is just huge because there are very few partners that can physically bring fans to Allegiant Stadium,” DeAngelo said.
