As the Las Vegas Raiders' disappointing season hit a new low on Monday night, the action off the field proved just as compelling as the game itself. Team owner Mark Davis became a focal point for cameras, not for his reaction to the play, but for his animated conversation with three prominent women in his private Allegiant Stadium suite.
A Night of Football Misery
The on-field performance provided little comfort for Raiders fans. The Dallas Cowboys decisively handed Las Vegas their fifth consecutive loss in a display of dominance. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was in formidable form, completing an impressive 25 of his 33 passes for 268 yards and four touchdowns.
This latest defeat under coach Pete Carroll leaves the Raiders with a dismal 2-8 record for the season, effectively crushing their playoff hopes by mid-November. The team remains firmly at the bottom of the AFC West, with the nightmare campaign showing no signs of abating.
The Suite Spectacle
While his team struggled, ESPN cameras captured Mark Davis in deep discussion with a trio of women. The group was identified as none other than the newly-named rock supergroup 'Power of 3', comprising Australian guitarist Orianthi, drumming virtuoso Cindy Blackman Santana, and bassist Rhonda Smith.
The broadcast showed Davis apparently engaged in conversation with Santana, who was seated to the left of the group. Orianthi and Smith were seen listening intently to their exchange. The scene was a stark contrast to the unfolding disappointment on the pitch.
Davis's Musical Connections
This is not the first time Davis has been spotted with the Australian guitarist. Orianthi was his special guest at Allegiant Stadium back in October 2023, though the nature of their relationship—whether dating or simply friends—remains unclear.
Davis's association with the music world is well-documented. He is a huge classic rock fan and has been a supporter of the band since its inception roughly two years ago, when it was known as 'Band of 3'. His fandom for Orianthi reportedly began after seeing her in the 2009 Michael Jackson documentary 'This Is It', leading him to later invite her to perform the national anthem at a Raiders game.
The band, which also teased their collaboration at a Super Bowl party hosted by Davis in 2024, had just played a mini-festival at a tailgate before Monday's game. The performance was open to all ticket-holders and even those without a game ticket, free of charge.
Also present in the suite was Formula One star Carlos Sainz with his girlfriend, Rebecca Donaldson, adding another layer of celebrity to the private box.
Davis's history of being seen with high-profile women at games includes Cirque du Soleil dancer Hayden Hopkins, though it was later revealed she was in a relationship with MLB player Joey Gallo.
As the Raiders' season continues to unravel, the spotlight on their owner's off-field interests provides a compelling subplot to the team's sporting woes. His enduring passion for music offers a consistent backdrop to the fluctuating fortunes of his NFL franchise.
