Nevada Senate & State Assembly approve $750 mil. towards future Pac-12 Championship game site

Purple_Pills

This last week the Nevada Senate & State Assembly approved $750 mil. towards a new stadium in Las Vegas in an effort to lure away the Raiders and hopefully the Pac-12 Championship game. The venue also ups the ante for the Las Vegas Bowl, which currently is greatly handicapped by its current stadium located on the outskirts of town.

I hope Larry Scott is paying attention. Moving the bball tourney to Las Vegas has been a success. Ditching the office park in Santa Clara for the Las Vegas Strip would also be a huge win.

Team with best record should host the CCG.

Disagree. L.A., yes mediocre, wasn't The Fraud while Las Vegas is Nick F. Saban.

do you guys seriously think the Pac12 would move the championship game to Las Vegas when they're clearly planning on putting it in Guangzhou.

New Las Vegas Stadium is by far the best choice. Vegas is easy to get to from anywhere in the conference, except maybe Pullman. Tons of hotel rooms nearby and other fun stuff to do and see without having to rent a car. People would make an annual event out of it despite the teams involved.

This stadium could be a giant plus to west coast football. The Las Vegas Bowl could/should in that 2nd tier bowl range with the Peach, Citrus, & Holiday Bowls.

Nick F. Saban location. That's a fact. Can't blame the location for the teams on the court. Off the court it has been awesome. MWC championship is in town as well while the WCC finishes up just before. It's now college hoops week in Vegas.

I know. I was there. I had a great time watching the tournament in a sports book.

Going to Vegas for conference tournament week is great as long as you don't waste your time attending the Pac-12 tournament games.

And that's one of the reasons why it is the best conference tourney locale by far. Beats the crap out of Greensboro, Chicago, Kansas City. etc. Even beats the Catholics & Butler in MSG. The Pac-12 was Tom Hansen FS for not locating the tourney there from the get go & would be equally stupid for not getting in front of this Las Vegas situation for football.
