Las Vegas Raiders vs. Tennessee Titans

Nobody flies in for the last home game of the year. That is precisely what makes it worth going to. The week between Christmas and New Year is the dead zone of the football calendar, the tourists have gone home or are too hungover to leave the hotel, resale prices sink to the lowest they will be all season, and the people who show up are the ones who were always going to show up: season-ticket holders in the same seats they have sat in since the building opened, a scattering of families using the afternoon as an excuse to leave the house, and not one person there because it is an event. There is no spectacle attached. The concourses are walkable. You can hear individual voices instead of a wall of noise, which is rarer at Allegiant Stadium than you would think. Sunday, December 27, a 1:05 start. Of all the football you can buy this year, this is the cheapest, and it is the closest the place ever gets to feeling like a neighbourhood.
