UNLV is scheduled to play three games at Allegiant before the Raiders host a regular-season contestGETTY IMAGES
A dispute with the Raiders over UNLV's nonconference football games next season at Allegiant Stadium "might cause the Rebels to play two more games at Sam Boyd Stadium," according to sources cited by Mark Anderson of the LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL. UNLV is "scheduled to play its first three games at Allegiant before the Raiders play a regular-season home game." All indications are UNLV's opening game with Cal on Aug. 29 "will be played as scheduled at Allegiant." But the dispute with the Raiders "might force UNLV's games against Louisiana Tech on Sept. 5 and Arizona State on Sept. 12 to be moved to Sam Boyd." Sources said that no decision "has been made by the Raiders on whether they will try to force those games to be moved out of Allegiant." UNLV has a "joint-use agreement to occupy Allegiant Stadium with the Raiders." One stipulation is that UNLV "doesn't schedule more than two nonconference games, but that does not include the initial season" at Allegiant Stadium (LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 11/28).
