| - Here to watch my SUU FB team play UNLV. I love this stadium. It is close to me. I have been coming here since I was a kid watching the old Las Vegas Quicksilvers, but lets face it, it is dated.
I know the popular opinion is that you have to have a stadium on campus to have a good football team, but UCLA, USC, SDSU do not have stadiums on campus and they seem to be doing well.
The problems with the stadium is there are no places to tailgate, unless you like sand in your food, courtesy of the winds. The restrooms are atrocious. Key word: "VENTS". The food situation is very basic and there is no love for the past UNLV players that have passed through there and gone on to the NFL or even the CFL. You could paint the damn walls Red and Gray for God sake, it has to be less than the new field that was put down.
I love the stadium, but it really needs improvements and I get that everything is on hold because we have a new stadium deal dangling over our heads. Some wonderful provider could put a cell tower for better coverage and having never been in the locker rooms, I have no idea how bad that is.
It was a sweetheart deal and the lack of support for the UNLV football team from UNLV got the stadium to where it is, today. John Robinson made improvements and I have NO DOUBT that Tony will do more. I have already enjoyed the new football team, the new field, the new score board, the new attitude.
