LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Allegiant Stadium has been named the highest-grossing stadium in the country by Billboard Magazine for the second year in a row. It was also the second highest in the world.
Billboard Magazine will release its annual list of top artists, tours, and venues across the globe in its ““2025 Year In Music/#1s” issue on Dec. 13. Allegiant Stadium, which is the home of the Las Vegas Raiders, will be officially recognized as no. 1 in the United States and no. 2 in the world.
The stadium was only beat by Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City.
The stadium’s ranking is no surprise, what with the venue’s record-breaking-capacity crowds, show sellouts, and top-grossing international events.

According to the Las Vegas Raiders Impact Report for 2025, which will be released in January 2026, 62 percent of visitors came to Las Vegas specifically for a live sporting, music, or entertainment event at Allegiant Stadium. This resulted in an estimated $1.1 billion in economic impact.
“This significant achievement underscores the Allegiant Stadium team’s commitment to delivering truly exceptional experiences,” Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, said. “Allegiant Stadium’s robust calendar of diverse sporting events and internationally acclaimed programming continues to be a driving force in maintaining Las Vegas’ status as the Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World.”
Live music and entertainment events earned more than $281 million in gross revenue between October 2024 and September 2025. The venue saw artists such as George Strait, AC/DC, Post Malone, Kendrick Lamar, Coldplay, Shakira, The Weeknd, and Beyoncé.
The year also included WrestleMania 41, which was the most successful WrestleMania in history. On the field, the stadium also hosted the Las Vegas Bowl, 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup, and Rugby League Las Vegas.
“Earning this distinction for the second year in a row is an extraordinary honor. It reflects our commitment to excellence, innovation, and the people we serve,” Sandra Douglass Morgan, president of the Las Vegas Raiders, said. “Receiving this honor in consecutive years is a testament to the continued passion and dedication of our entire team.”
Allegiant Stadium will close out 2025 with the final home games of the Las Vegas Raiders season, as well as the Las Vegas Bowl.
