Business owners near the intersection of Russell Road and Polaris Avenue are anticipating how the landscape will change when the Raiders construct a domed 65,000-seat stadium in time for the 2020 season.

Crazy Horse lll general manager Keith Ragano said the business is excited about the possibility of the Raiders becoming their neighbor and plans to capitalize on the increased traffic in the area.
“We are right there in the shadow of the new stadium, so it will have a huge impact on us,” Ragano said. “Considering that sports fans and a gentlemen's club go hand in hand, well, for us the location couldn't be better. We expect a lot of positives from being at the site, from increased foot traffic to being a great party spot for players and fans.”
Ragano said that he’s not worried about the traffic issues affecting his club on game days. The club’s peak hours are late night, so the rush should be gone by then, he added.
When the Raiders arrive in a few years, Ragano said that the club would beef up staffing to ensure they have enough employees during days with games or special events.
Ragano said the Crazy Horse lll is willing and ready to assist with the football festivities.
“If anything, we'll have the opportunity to host tailgates and after-parties on game days,” Ragano said. “For us, it's just great for business. As much as we're a gentlemen's club, we're a party destination. We'll have some great tailgates.”
