SEC (Vandy) Coming to Vegas
- Thread starter RebNReno
- Start date
I know they aren't Alabama but getting an SEC school to come out here is pretty solid. Good job by the staff!
Also we will have SDSU, SJSU, Hawaii at home and play BSU, CSU , WYO in the Cross over games, Reno & Fresno away.
That is an overall tough but fun/interesting schedule looking at . Possibility of a RS JR Armani Rogers leading this team is exciting should he deliver on all his promise this year and show some real talent/ability. Defense will be much more mature by that year as well looking at current roster, incoming recruits etc.

I have not seen a lot of negative responses to playing a home/home with UNLV. I have also seen other schools fans that appear to have an interest in home and home games from programs that include VT, Tenn, North Carolina State, etc.
I want to see the new stadium break ground ASAP so we can get more home/home games and end the buy in games that have no return trips.
On a side note, I have seen a couple of comments from BYU fans that are not happy that they struggle to get good home/home games while UNLV just got Vandy.

With the new stadium, no reason why Labor day weekend can't be a College Football weekend, with UNLV playing a P5 school and having top 20 teams play against each other. The new Mercedes dome has FSU and Bama opening up on labor day. Vegas is Vegas, cheap flights and a great time for all.
Just something to think about, by 2020 when we open the new 65,000 seat stadium would'nt it be beneficial if we schedule teams that have a very loyal fan base so we can fill out the stadium to its brim? I know we have to be competitive for them to even schedule us but I believe we are on track to do just that. Once we get to go to a bowl game, I believe it will become a habit of going yearly. What you guys think?
I love having these colleges with great bands starting the seasons for us. Nothing hypes up a crowd like some rhythm and funk!
A lot of P5's schedule easier games to start the season. The game gets the starters some live reps but also allows the staff to get some reps for the backups. Plus, there's lower risk of injuries to your players.
Not every game has to be against the top 25.

I've been to a game at Vanderbilt. The environment was just okay. Nothing to write home about. Smallish stadium, not great tradition. It was against a ranked Arkansas team (who brought a pretty good amount of fans). That being said, I would definitely go there to watch the Rebels play!
I might be a minority, but I think it would be cool to play against Jackson State again for the opening of the stadium instead. Loved that band.
Great place to visit we just spent the week of the 4th there awesome fireworks and free concert on Broadway. This was the second trip for us in two years. Will be a great road trip. Count us in.
