Stadiums With Stunning Glass Roofs That Let Nature Be Part of the Game

10. Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas – The Glass Fortress of the Desert

Nicknamed the "Death Star" for its futuristic, jet-black exterior, Allegiant Stadium—home of the Las Vegas Raiders—is a marvel of modern stadium engineering. Its partially transparent, domed roof is made from lightweight ETFE panels, allowing a perfect balance of natural lighting and climate control, crucial for Las Vegas’ extreme desert temperatures. The use of glass and ETFE roofing ensures that the stadium remains cool while maintaining a bright, open-air feel. The stadium’s technological advancements—including a 52-foot-high glass wall that opens to reveal the Vegas skyline—make it one of the most visually dynamic stadiums in the world.
