Red Five Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I'm all for a game in Vegas, but I'd rather play UNLV or a Pac12/Big12 team in a neutral site game than BYU. Also, I would bet (pun intended) that the Vegas Bowl bumps out a current NY6 bowl soon after the new stadium opens. The Orange Bowl is now the least attractive of the current NY6 IMO. Hardest to get to flight-wise, stadium isn't centrally located in Miami, older stadium (I know if was recently renovated to lower capacity). Quote Link to comment

Agreed, even if it isn't a NY6 bowl, it's going to become a much bigger draw. Pretty sure it won't be a Pac12/MW game for too much longer. EDIT: Do we know if it's a retractable roof yet?

Red Five Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 the Raiders have posted on their website that the Las Vegas stadium would have a rigid glass-domed roof and retractable doors that would open to the north for a killer view of the Las Vegas Strip. https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/raiders-nfl/experts-challenge-to-build-las-vegas-raiders-stadium-for-2020/ 2 Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 The Raiders stadium is going to be sweet retractable roof or not lol Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 The Raiders stadium is going to be sweet retractable roof or not lol Definitely agree, but for games in January (bowl game) It would probably be nice to have it closed up. I know Vegas doesn't get that cold... Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 My lord. Just looked at that rendering. That is going to be the most beautiful stadium in America. Quote Link to comment

Redux Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Would love to see us play a game in Vegas, great excuse to fly out. Only 2hrs outta Grand Island. Quote Link to comment

I think its normally pretty cheap on Allegiant. But I assume that Allegiant is smart enough to jack up prices if there were to be a game on the schedule Quote Link to comment

I understand they are regional airlines, but that is still a surprise to me. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 My wife and I flew to Vegas from GI last month. It was a little over $500 for both of us IIRC? Quote Link to comment
