Tailgating is a proud NFL experience going back decades. It’s especially beloved when it comes to the Las Vegas Raiders fan base, who show up in numbers in parking lots wherever their team is playing.

And now, their team has created a version of that which costs $20,000. We are not joking.

For a cool 20 grand, you — yes, you — can rent out a space about the size of a few parking spaces outside Allegiant Stadium and enjoy an all-inclusive experience that, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, includes food, beverages, a 55-inch television and, pivotally, air conditioning.

The two-story structure and the area around it apparently fits a group of 20, so we are talking about $1,000 per person. However, Raiders vice president of premium sales and service Panos Pappas reportedly told the Review-Journal it is those Vegas prices which make the team think its price tag is justifiable:

On the other hand, you could take that $20,000 to, well, pretty much any other large building on the Strip and enjoy yourself quite a bit with friends, then go to the game. Or you could just spend a few hundred dollars on a tent, food and beers for your friends and tailgate like a normal person.

Over the past few years, one of the NFL’s most high-profile divisions has become a bit of a snoozefest, as two teams have run over their in-division counterparts. The NFC East has been run by the Cowboys and Eagles over the past few seasons, with both teams standing tall behind their quarterbacks to keep themselves playoff relevant. How never, for the first time in years, there’s a small window for the Giants and the Commanders to make progress within the division. The Cowboys have left themselves a bit vulnerable on the field after a quiet offseason, making them mortal enough where one of the perennial bottom dwellers can strike.
