| - The only reason I gave this place two stars is because of the sight lines. No matter where you sit in this stadium, you'll have a good view of the field.
Sam Boyd Stadium is essentially a larger than average high school stadium. It's miles away from campus, so if you're a student or live close to the university you can forget about just walking to a football game. The parking lot is a dirt lot (read: a parking lot with NO ASPHALT), and your car WILL get dirty and scuffed. The parking officers who direct traffic suck, and the only reason it doesn't take forever to get out of the lot is because not many people go to UNLV games to begin with. Despite the "renovations", the stadium is old, outdated, and just not a great place to watch football. The performance of the UNLV football team does, however, match the conditions of their home stadium. While it is comedic to watch the team at times, you're better off watching them at home, and you will save money on how much beer you have to drink to make it through a game.
If you want to watch good UNLV sports, pass on football at Sam Boyd Stadium and watch the much better Runnin' Rebel Basketball team at the much nicer Thomas & Mack.
