"Madden 21" revealed its cover, which will feature Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, as well as a trailer this week. That trailer includes a digital look at the Las Vegas Raiders' new home, Allegiant Stadium. Fans have had a few sneak peaks at the real stadium already, but the "Madden 21" trailer gave us all a better look at where the Raiders will play their home games.
It was far from a virtual tour, but it did give us a preview at what the stadium will look like from above on game days.
The one-second clip of the field kicks off the trailer before switching to a shot of Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow.
Don't look away for a second or you'll miss it:

The aerial view shows the clear grid roof and the Death Star/Roomba looking exterior that people have been joking about online since the first look at the outside of the stadium was shared. The looks inside of the $2 billion stadium have shown a relatively standard arena, with a see-through roof and windowed walls that hopefully will keep the Nevada heat out.
A unique element of the stadium is an 85-foot Al Davis Memorial Torch. It is the largest structure in the world made from a 3D printer and is a nod to the late owner and continues an Oakland tradition of lighting a flame before games.
The NFL season is currently expected to go on as planned, potentially with a shortened preseason, despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Whether people will be allowed into games is still unknown, so it could be a while before fans get to marvel at the Raiders' new stadium in person.
