LOOK: Raiders DE Maxx Crosby hits the turf inside Allegiant Stadium

Raiders DE Maxx Crosby spent some time getting used to his team’s new home turf and grass-field tray at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby was one of the first members of the team to move to Las Vegas, the franchise’s new home, and he’s been one of the most active players on social media this offseason.

He’s been an active participant in conventional media, too, granting multiple insightful interviews and representing the Raiders well, detailing their plan to improve on the club’s 7-9 finish in 2019.

Crosby recently toured the spot where the home action will take place in 2020: the Raiders’ new $2 billion home, Allegiant Stadium. He even stepped onto its artificial turf. The Raiders’ natural-grass playing surface will roll into the stadium on a field tray and lay on top of the turf.

He toured the field tray as well, which is outdoors for the time being. But since the turf is permanently inside Allegiant Stadium, standing there made for a great photo opp and likely gave Crosby a preview of games to come.

Here a couple more photos of Crosby checking out his future stomping grounds.

Despite the hardhats in these photos from Crosby’s Twitter account, Allegiant is scheduled to be completed on time. With the country still combating the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s uncertain whether fans will be allowed inside once the season starts.

Allegiant Stadium will outlast the pandemic, however, and at some point, Raiders fans will celebrate the franchise’s new home from inside its friendly confines. Crosby appears prepared to give his fans plenty to cheer about when that day comes.
