Al Davis Memorial Torch Unveiled
A Tribute to the Raiders' Legendary Owner
A beacon of remembrance and inspiration
On Monday, before the Las Vegas Raiders' game against the New Orleans Saints, the world got its first glimpse of the completed Al Davis Memorial Torch. This towering tribute to the late Mr. Davis, who served as the Raiders' long-time owner, Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, AFL Coach of the Year, and AFL Commissioner, stands tall outside Allegiant Stadium.
The torch is a testament to the indelible mark Davis left on the sport of football. It is a symbol of his passion, determination, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Following Davis's passing in 2011, the Raiders began a tradition of lighting the torch prior to every home game. This ritual serves as a reminder of his legacy and inspires the team to carry on his winning spirit.
The torch's unveiling is a powerful moment for the Raiders organization and for football fans everywhere. It is a reminder of the extraordinary life and career of Al Davis, whose contributions to the game will forever be etched in history.
