Jersey retirement/Allegiant signage.

I was just thinking a lot of professional teams and programs like to honor past players that have been great in their time and were fun to watch.

I think last season we honored the 84-85 team but we need something more permanent. There’s a ton of space in Allegiant and plenty of stuff to put more unlv signage up. Put Randall’s jersey in the rafters, create a wrap that commemorates the bowl games we’ve been in, commemorate John Robinson a HOF coach that saved UNLV football, photo of the iconic Payne catch at ASU etc.

Just because UNLV was not winning regularly in the past doesn’t mean we had nobody’s passing through and it’s also for the long time fans who were there.

I just think there’s a lot we could do. I mean someone walks into stadium and sees a signage that says UNLV beat Arkansas in the LV Bowl. “Holy cow, UNLV beat a SEC team in a bowl?!”


/Offseason rant over.

The raiders would never allow that

It’s not permanent signage.

Great idea and worth UNLV exploring. I wouldn’t go so far as to say the Raiders would never allow greater UNLV recognition. The relationship has improved greatly since Sandra became Pres; not saying it’s perfect but before Sandra it was downright hostile. Sandra recognizes the value of having a close relationship with UNLV. It undoubtedly benefits/protects the Raiders in many ways.
