Besides the late start time, Texas v Ohio State will definitely hurt local attendance and interest.
I think the true attendance would be around 17,500 because interest is super high.

While UNLV attendance is likely to struggle until they can show that this team will turn things around, I find it unlikely that a game between Ohio State and Texas would have any real impact on the attendance for UNLV. Either you are going to UNLV basketball or you are not, they do not tend to get many casual fans that go to their games when playing lower level opponents.I think the true attendance would be around 17,500 because interest is super high.
But all these other things that Vegas has going on … it’s just really bad timing. Because of those other things, our actual bodies in seats will probably be only 5K. But multiply what ever warm bodies are in there by 3.5 to get the TRUE attendance. DO NOT believe for one second that overall interest has dropped, it’s just temporarily displaced by unfriendly circumstances of the night.
Something like that.Announced: around 8500...
Actual: probably close to 4,000
