The stadium’s curse claimed various victims during the 2022-23 season. In week 4, the Denver Broncos’ visit to Allegiant resulted in multiple injuries to key players. Defensive back PJ Locke was injured on the opening kick off, followed by a knee injury dealt to running back Javonte Williams who left Allegiant Stadium on crutches. Later on in the game, pass rusher Randy Gregory also suffered a knee injury, the Broncos falling victim to the venue’s voodoo.
