Get ready for the most thrilling college football weekend imaginable coming to the $2 billion Allegiant Stadium! When it opened in 2020, Allegiant Stadium was predicted to become a dominant college football hub, yet expectations for that were anticipated for 2024 when the College Football Playoff expansion to 12 teams will require more neutral-field venues. However, the unlikely has happened! Las Vegas is set to host 20% of the championship week schedule, marking a monumental pivot for the 2023 season.
Highlights include the Pac-12 conference championship game between No. 3 Washington versus No. 5 Oregon and the Mountain West showdown on December 2 where UNLV hosts Boise State. Expect great moments from the first-ever championship game appearance by UNLV and the Leagues’ top regular-season standing.
Also, keep an eye out for Oregon receiver Rome Odunze, a prodigious talent hailing from Las Vegas, who plays for Washington. UNLV’s own quarterback Jayden Maiava has proudly stayed home and maneuvered his way to the top of the depth chart this year. Both athletes’ stellar performances at Allegiant Stadium will define this year’s “Heisman moment”. Get in on the action and let Allegiant Stadium take your college football experience to the next level! This story originally appeared in Las Vegas Weekly.
