    It helps that Vegas is only 5.5 hrs from Salt a lake shitty.

    Sad that @89ute didn’t run on down there.

    It’s reasonably close to any team in the south sans Colorado. It’s a way better atmosphere than freaking NorCal. Hope they don’t mess this up and move it to LA.
    Think they got a bit lucky this year it was the UTES involved, but you gotta keep that game there if you go neutral site.

    Best option in this shitty conference for an atmosphere is still team with best record hosts.
    They’ve been to the last 3 championship games anyone could attend. It’s a trend. LA is close. That game will always be able to draw at kwat 45k if it’s in Vegas unless Stanford goes maybe.

    They didn’t show up to Santa Clara.

    Agreed more people will go to Vegas. I said they should keep it there.

    But year by year if you want to look like you care about football out here. Put it at the best records place.

    That’s what the small conferences do. Keep it in Vegas and they will come.

    Was thinking the same thing while watching. It actually looked and sounded like a big time conference championship instead of a preseason game. I'm planning to go every time DeBoner wins the north.

    The conference needs to move their HQs and TV network studios to Vegas. SF is an expensive mistake for the conference.

    Santa Clara is a fucking nightmare. I lived in Oakland and had zero desire to go through what it took to get there from an hour away.

    Agree. Location sucks. Stadium is overrated. Little Climate Pledge Arena has better pricey beer options.
