Face Masks Will Apparently Be Required at SummerSlam

Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the site of SummmerSlam later this month, announced that anyone attending events at the stadium must now wear face masks, regardless of their COVID-19 vaccination status.

COVID-19 DISCLOSURE

Allegiant Stadium takes the health and safety of its guests, employees and staff very seriously. In response to rising COVID-19 cases, and in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and State of Nevada Emergency Directive 047, all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, must wear a face mask while inside the stadium.

The State of Nevada & CDC do not currently require proof of vaccination to attend events.

Allegiant Stadium’s COVID-19 protocols are subject to change as additional information is discovered or provided by the State of Nevada & the CDC.

Individual events held at Allegiant Stadium may also implement heightened COVID-19 protocols, so please read all correspondence regarding an individual event carefully.

Allegiant Stadium is a domed stadium and doesn’t have a retractable roof, so it’s indoors. Outdoor venues have been shown to be much less likely to spread COVID-19. The stadium does have a relatively large opening on one side, though, which is supposed to let fresh air pass through.

WWE has sold about 44,000 tickets out of a possible 47,000 or so for SummerSlam, which will take place on Saturday, August 21.
