It would be really cool if he did a few songs at half time at one of the games. Might be a great way to bring in some new country music fans to see UNLV football!
UCLA game.
That may attract even more fans since it’s going to be our biggest home game.

An entertainer like him isn’t doing our crappiest opponent.
 
If you click Tour it only shows his Las Vegas residency at the Sphere in May and June. He appears to have open dates in the fall.
UNLV vs UCLA is slated to be the weekend of Sept 6.

His only negative is that he the country mold of Jimmy Buffett. While I love Buffett's music, it doesn't exactly hype a crowd. It does, however, make one very happy.

In Buffett’s case, “it” refers not only to the music. 😶‍🌫️

Tell me one half time show in the last 50 years at a UNLV football game that hyped the crowd, and you are worried about his show not hyping up a crowd?

The worst plane flight of my life was from Miami back to LV with a plane full of Parrot Heads fan group going to LV for the Buffet concert. Five and a half hours of absolute hell.
Best house party I ever went to was one here in Henderson the night before a Buffett Concert. It was sponsored by Corona. I was about 21.

Read that again. Corona sponsored the house party.

I would need a whole lot of alcohol for that flight.
 
Maybe I am getting old, but I thought that with the exception of a few songs, the half time show really sucked. There was one lady that sung, who I do not know, who I thought was really good, but otherwise not so much!
Yeah I remember watching a marching band and Up With People perform at halftime of the Super Bowl I would have rather have watched that on a loop than last night.

Fun fact, half time acts are not paid. At least not by the NFL. They get a 1k stiped for the rehearsal and the performance each. What I am not sure is whether they have to pay for the show itself or the NFL does that.

Obviously the spike in streams/sales goes through the roof, so it is the best advertisement you can do.

While that is true for the name acts, why would those who are just basic dancers, background music, etc... want to perform for free when everyone else is getting stinking rich? Just another case of the stinking rich finding a way not to pay a fair wage for work done! I wonder if I could hire some people to work for me and just pay them in good will, or are there different laws based on who you are? Of course, we know the law is never enforced fairly!
