Very impressive to say the least. The stadium is supposed to be able to hold 60,000 people. However if you look up what they averaged for attendance for each game of this season (http://en.wikipedia....s_football_team) they only averaged 15,000 people per game. That means only about 1/4th of the stadium will be filled.

This probably means it will be some sort of future site for a bowl to help make some money from this investment but bottom line though is that this is crazy but impressive to say the least...

If they do this UNLV has to be trying to make a push to get a BigXII or PAC12 invite. I just can't see either of those happening but otherwise this seem idiotic. They already have a bowl game, no one goes. Even BCS bowls have a hard time filling up. I just don't see how you make this investment knowing that the NFL is never going to move there or even play a Super Bowl there.

Sounds like they just want a big fancy arena there, and maybe they will play football games in in too.

Yeah you would think it's for bowls, luring an NFL team and other things...but 800 million? Doubt that will ever be made back.

Looking closer I see that jumbotron is on the side, not like a giant center one in Jerry's world. Yeah definitely looks smaller now.

The thought of 800 mil on one shitty stadium makes me shutter. Gimme dat cash.
