My family and I ended up going to Sam Boyd Stadium to see a Monster Jam (Monster Truck) show. This was my first time at the Sam Boyd Stadium. It was in the middle of no where, or at least it felt like it. I drove all the way from NW Vegas (95/Durango) to Sam Boyd Stadium. As soon as we had entered, parking was pretty much overwhelmed and all parking was diverted to the dirt lots. It was a evening, Saturday night, at 7:00 P.M for the Monster Jam show. We had arrived about 45 minutes early to get our seats and pick up any snacks. It was quite packed. The seats were relatively uncomfortable, more like bleacher style seating. The rows were numbered, along with the seats. There is a bag policy, so make sure that you bring a clear bag, or your purse is small. Food and drink is relatively expensive here. It's comparable to other stadium food. The churros were disgusting. It tasted like rubber, but my daughter still ate it. The popcorn was stale. Overall, the show itself, the Monster Jam show, was a lot of fun, but the Stadium itself could use a re-work, especially the seats. It is a outdoor stadium. I'd imagine during summer, it could get really hot. read more

I've been heading to UNLV football games and for a 46 year old stadium built in a desert, the Sam Boyd Stadium is A-OK... Parking: Free Dirt lot parking for the games with a pretty close walk to the main entrance. The tailgating area offers a lot of space in a grass lot that makes for a fun tailgate experience. The UNLV vs Hawaii tailgate is always a great tailgate with fans from both sides having a good time before the game. Stadium: As I mentioned it's 46 years old and you can tell. However like downtown Las Vegas, it's functional and you can still have a good time if you keep your expectations realistic. It's an outdoor stadium with minimal shading unless you're by the score tower with the sun behind it. It's bench seating that's not the most comfortable but I know that at every game I go to here. There's plenty of snack stations and I really try to avoid concession stand food so I eat up at the tailgate. $8 for a wide mouth bottle of domestic beers to keep your buzz going from the tailgate. Two major tips dropped there...=) Staff: No issues with the staff throughout my visits and everyone I came across was pleasant. As of Oct, 2017 there is a new bag policy that just about limits most bags, backpacks, purses, etc from entering the stadium. http://www.samboydstadium.com/event-services/bag-policy/ Henderson police present was evident through the stadium along with the stadium security. Shout out to the men and women who help keep these events safe, much appreciated. An old historic stadium that serves it's purpose and offers value for the football games as there really isn't a bad seat in the house due to it being a smaller stadium. Traffic isn't really an issue as it's away from the strip. Get a group of friends and you can have a really good time as I have. Enjoy yourself, it's a celebration! =) read more

There's a lot of events here from UNLV games to Monster Jam and more. We went to Monster Jam. I would pay the extra money for good seats next time. Pros: -it's in Henderson, so we don't have to go far -we didn't have to pay for parking in the dirt lot, not sure if it's always that way -layout of the stadium is pretty easy to follow Cons: -bathrooms are Disgusting -seats up top have no back support and it's near impossible to walk down the aisle to your seat -food/drinks cost a fortune, I guess that's anywhere though - they have a bag policy, NO PURSES...are you kidding me! -if someone is in front of you, your kid probably won't be able to see -security is a joke read more

Pretty decent college football stadium. I love that there is free parking out on the dirt lots. Plenty of space for tailgates and whatever you might want to do. I loved watching my team come in there and win by 31 points. I got to take two points away for the super uncomfortable bench seating they have there. read more

I've been coming here every other year..........just to support the University of Hawaii Football program. As an alumni of the University of Hawaii........isn't it the right thing to do? The Sam Boyd Stadium is not too far from the Sam Boyd's downtown hotels........I wanna say it's probably about 12 to 15 miles away, and very easy to find. A few things I like about this little stadium - - Free parking........yeah most of it is on a dirt road, but who cares? FREE PARKING! Get it? - Food & Drinks are a little cheaper than what I would pay at the Aloha Stadium. For instance...........Beer here is just $7 bucks, where as I pay $9.50 at home. But a bad thing about this place - There is no individual seating........just a hard metal bench seating. The good thing is you can pack more people into this little stadium, but the bad thing is.......if the game runs long, it can be pretty hard on your butt! This is a outdoor stadium.........and we Hawaii folks are not use to the "cold" in the winter time. I don't know what I was thinking when I came up here............as I was just planning on just bringing up shorts, t-shirt, & a light jacket. Lucky for me, my smart girlfriend told me that it would not be wise, and that I should wear pants & layer my shirts. Thanks Jules Y.! You da bestest & smartest gf! And you know what? As the sun came down..........and it turned into night.......it was quite nippy at the stadium. I see a few Hawaii bruddah's who went with shorts & t-shirts.........and I could see they were a little uncomfortable. But as for me.........I was warm as a puppy dog.......with the exception on when I left the stadium, and the winds picked up! MAN! It was so cold..........I felt like a frozen Popsicle! I had to blast that heater in the car for a little while.............but I was okay. Although we lost again, and took a beat down from UNLV. At least I was happy to see a lot of Hawaii people supporting the University of Hawaii Football program! The people of Las Vegas were nice, and there was definitely good sportsmanship, as there were no fights or taunting. read more

Dirt parking lots, long walk, crappy food, and even more crappy bench seats. It's difficult to be too harsh on the Sam Boyd Stadium. They did host U2, and it was the best concert of my life (and I've been to many many many concerts). The Good: 1. Free parking 2. Best concert EVER (U2/Black Eyed Peas, 2012) The Bad: 1. Hard metal seating kills the buttocks 2. Feels like high school 3. Rinky dink food stands read more

Can anyone tell me why the UNLV stadium is built clear across the campus, way out in Henderson?? I get that UNLV is an older campus built before the strip was "The Strip", but I hate having to drive way out here for an event. I hear rumors that UNLV has plans in the works to build a new stadium - I hope it's in a more convenient location and that it comes to fruition soon! I've seen a UNLV Football game, a Monster Energy Supercross event, and participated in quite a few 5k runs at Sam Boyd Stadium. As most reviewers have mentioned, parking sucks. No one wants to park in a crowded gravelly dirt parking lot. I'd recommend parking at the Silver Bowl parking lot instead if you don't mind walking a bit father. The stadium benches are basic and hard on your back and bottom. When it comes to assigned seating, it can get pretty tight. The stadium itself is clean and typical stadium fare is offered (churros, popcorn, hot dogs, etc.) at the usual outrageous prices. The stadium is on the small side, but I guess that just means you're guaranteed a good view of the event! I try my best to avoid coming to Sam Boyd, but until UNLV gets set up with a new stadium, we're just S.O.L right? YELP 100 CHALLENGE 2015: #77 read more

Sam Boyd Stadium - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This is a small stadium with a horseshoe style set, meaning you walking in the main gate and if your ticket puts you on the other side, you walk all the way around to get there, there is no circular setup. Overall, it's clean and maintain well, we've never been disappointed with out seats, or the field. The big electronic screen for replay's isn't that big, the stadium seats are metal with a back, but hard on the.... so bring a cushion. Since we tailgate, we never buy anything to eat, but they have the usual, hot dogs, nachos and such. The beer is expensive, but this type of venue, it always is. We manage to bring in bottle water since they don't really look at bags that closely. It gets a little bit better later in the season, as far as the heat goes, but we always manage to survive. As long as UH comes to town, we'll be there to support them! read more

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. read more

Sam Boyd Stadium - UNLV vs Colorado State - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Terrible entrance. (Both parking and into stadium) Terrible location. Terrible seats (uncomfortable and can't keep people from encroaching due to bleacher style) terrible bathrooms (can't handle amount of people even for a unlv game that no one shows up to) terrible Jumbotron (if you wanna call it that) terrible speakers .. born and raised here .. there is no reason for this building to continue to stand after raiders stadium done. I will Only show up to an event here again if it's the demolition ! read more

This Stadium is A-OK! For being located in Las Vegas, it should have been built with more thought. There is no shade for a majority of the seats located in this stadium making it almost unbearable to sit in for the game. I was miserable in the heat. The seat are uncomfortable so make sure you bring a seat cushion!!! The field itself is well maintained so that is a plus! The bathroom facilities were clean and everything. The food is at stadium prices if you know what I mean. I got a pretzel with cheese for $5 and two hot dogs. The cheese tastes gross! I would not recommend getting nachos or the cheese in general. As far as the hot dogs, they're standard stadium dogs. They only had ketchup and mustard for the condiments and no relish. I was a bit sad about that. Try to eat before going here and wear lots of sun screen!! read more

We caught the UNLV vs Idaho State game and had a fantastic time. The final score was 80-8, setting a new record for both UNLV and the Mountain West Conference. First off, let me start by saying that there is a reason this stadium was built in the middle of a huge open area. It was done deliberately. And it was intended to be well off the strip. "Why??", people keep asking. Because of all the dangerous fireworks and other extremely loud events that were and are still held at Sam Boyd Stadium. This is NOT the type of venue most people want in their backyards. Of course, I recommend tailgating! Either the UNLV Alumni tailgate or there is also a separate tailgating lot on the left side of the stadium open to all fans. You can enter the public tailgate lot from Broadbent Blvd, just north of Russell Road very easily. The tailgating area is a grassy field that is nicely maintained and well kept. The grass is perfect for providing a cool and comfortable area to do your pre-game partying. You can park your vehicles and setup your tailgate party in a section that you have reserved. You can reserve your spot for the season, or you can reserve a spot for a single event or individual game. It's fantastic! Bring whatever you want, because grills, tents, tables, and alcohol are allowed. I'm happy to report that the field itself looks amazing! Not sure when it was redone, but I was happy to see it in such good shape. The sound system was also working well. The bathrooms we saw were clean and the concession lines moved as a fast as humanly possible. The parking areas here are just fine. Coming to a collage football game, or any other type of event held here is not something that you can just swing in & out of. Remember, your not the only person stopping by. Everyone else here is on the same exact schedule as you are. So people just need to have a little patience and deal with it. Stop complaining about how hard it is to get here, or having to wait a few minutes in line to leave the stadium. Because in reality, it's just NOT that bad. read more

So we flew down to Vegas to see U2. Venue itself not too bad except there are too few ATM machines and one other BIG exception. Boyd Stadium Big-Wigs, excuse me if you're not to blame for this but I'm pretty sure you are responsible for the parking outside the venue. So a BIG sarcastic THANKS for a complete lack of organization in the parking lot. I think all fans that night would thank you for giving many of us a "first-time" experience; what it feels like to get trampled by a large moving crowd!! While I didn't go all the way down, the force of thousands was strong enough my feet started to go out from under me. Maybe it was the lone car that was somewhere behind us, ALSO pushing its way through the crowd. We were all praying that lady's foot wouldn't slip off the brake as she tried to inch her way through thousands of people on foot. The crowd even started sitting on top of her car. Police? Security, at least? Nowhere. The reason for the madhouse was that ALL the concert fans, and any idiot knows how many people I'm talking about, were forced to exit through one 20 foot wide gate to the parking lot. Even worse, in an odd form of crowd control, they periodically SHUT THE GATE and locked us in the stadium! So people began getting pushed up into the locked gate! Whaaaat???? Were we still in the United States? It seemed like something we see on TV in other countries where lack of planning is protocol. So what's up, Boyd Execs? How did you manage to drop that very big ball? Never heard of U2? Thought maybe it was some rogue, unfamiliar group where large crowds wouldn't be a problem? Aside from being pissed off by the danger of the situation that tens of thousands of us were in, I am HONESTLY CURIOUS how such an oversight came to be. When we finally made it to our car and tried to exit, guess what? Same problem. Thousands of cars trying to make it through one small exit surrounded by a large metal barrier and NO traffic direction. Thank you to the one lone U2 fan who stood in the street for a very long time doing what the Boyd venue staff should've been doing themselves. Directing Traffic! So, 2 1/2 hours after we exited Boyd Stadium, we finally made it out of the parking lot. I feel lucky. A lady I met on the plane didn't get out until 3 am. Really, if any one can shed some light on just what went wrong here and why, I'd like to know. read more

Sam Boyd Stadium - U2 Vegas!! - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Raise your hand if you knew what was the name of the bowl game that is play in Las Vegas every December. I didn't even know a post season bowl game was possible for a non-winning team. Apparently they love to invite a 6-6 team like UCLA Bruins to come to Vegas. I'm pretty sure they would rather invite Cal Bears if they could. Get ready, here's the answer...I was here for the "LAS VEGAS Bowl" sponsored by Pioneer. Yep, even Wynn wouldn't touched that. It was the disappointing UCLA Bruins vs the conference champ BYU (who incidentally lost to UCLA 27-17 earlier in the season). The luster was taken off a little whenever a rematch was schedule in a bowl game. The excitement has since been gone with UCLA manhandling BYU with a full healthy squad. Too bad the Bruins are decimated with injuries and had to start the 4th Quarterback of the season. The stadium was located a mile off the UNLV campus and a short drive from the Vegas strip. It was a little confusing using the public transportation to get to the stadium as we barely got there on time. We almost didn't get to watch the first quarter due to the staff's confusing distribution of will call tickets. We were starting to sweat bullets when the kickoff started. Once we did get to our seats, I was amazed on how good the tickets were. We were about 16 rows from the sideline and was very close to the north end of the end zone. We were assigned to the sections with the UCLA alumni with a few BYU fans able to buy the leftover tickets. I was delighted as the tickets for that area would have been about $50 for an alumni. The stadium have about 40,000 seats for the game and was very cozy in terms of close proximity to the field. It's perfect for a Saturday college football game or a Monster truck event. I also heard that concerts and High school football championships were held in this stadium. Granted, I have been to a few High School football stadium that were a lot bigger, but with fewer seats as they also double as a track and field stadium. This was still a top notch Division I stadium. Comparing to other bigger venues that I had went to (Dodger Stadium, Angel Stadium, Rose Bowl, Petco Park in SD), this stadium needs to update on the restroom facilities and maybe come up with a little bit more lighting around the stadium. Just a little brighter would be nice especially for a night game like the night we had. In terms of concession stands, they do have alcoholic beverages and plenty of the similar stadium food around the country. The only thing I can say is that the price is a little bit lower than I thought it was, but I didn't want to spoil appetite as we have plans for a Bellagio buffet for dinner. They have a jumbo tron on the scoreboard for each end for live action and replay of crucial plays. The only thing that bothers me was the announcer who have a monotone pitch voice. He needs to spice up to get more excitement for the crowd. With an open air and the synthetic turf on the field, this would be perfect for a fast high scoring game. Alas with an inexperience Quarterback for UCLA and a BYU team that took awhile to fight off a tough UCLA defense, there was no high scoring offensive output. The game was actually very exciting and very close to the end. The fans were rocking the stadium for both side and the game would eventually came down to the last play where UCLA had a chance to win the game by kicking a short field goal. They set up a 28 yard field goal which is a gimme for the UCLA kicker. I had seen him kicked a 52 yarder early in the game. Here comes the snap, the place for the kick, and the kick........ I wished I could tell you the result of the game. I left at Halftime just so we could avoid the cold temperature and make it to the Bellagio buffet. We were starving! read more

I came from California to watch Supercross finals. I was let down by the stadiums, parking lot, Uber pick up areas, food, seats, and service. I understand that it is a university stadium but if a stadium is going to be hosting professional events there needs to be more money invested into the stadium. The "seats" were so uncomfortable to sit on. The seats were actually metal benches that leave audiences to feel like squished sardines if the whole bench is sold out. The entrance and exit of the parking lot were terrible. It is not child friendly what so ever. If someone was to stand it would block entire views. There is only one jumbo-tron screen and their were not enough speakers around the stadium to properly listen to the broadcasters. The Uber/Lyft pick up drop off area were a huge mess because there was only one small section and was part of the parking lot. There was a line of over maybe 300 people waiting for their Uber's. The worst part of the whole event and stadium was the service. For some odd reason one of the five tickets we purchased scanned as if we had already entered the event. The person who was assisting us basically thought we were attempting to sneak in. Not only was it embarrassing but they told us they were not able to assist us because we purchased the tickets through stubhub. read more

So here's the thing... I'm not from Nevada or surrounding states. I'm also not a UNLV fan but for possibly a good football game... I'm in. Our first game here was vs. University of Arizona. I honestly think there were more Arizona fans here than UNLV fans. Oh... maybe that's because Arizona was winning (by a lot!) and had more to cheer for. LOL The stadium itself is so small than what I'm used to being in. From Michigan ~~ University of Michigan Fan ~~ GO BLUE! Sam Boyd only holds around 36,000 people.... The Big House.... 107,000+. Yep, huge difference. The parking was fine. We got there a little early and pulled into a parking lot that was just starting to get used (One of the free lots) . In and out of this parking lot was actually pretty easy and made it only a few minutes to wait for traffic to be directed out. Nice! It was only a short jaunt to get into the south entrance of the stadium so that was good. The concessions have a little improvement to be made. There really wasn't much of a selection as far as hot items. No big deal I guess. We will just eat something before I get to the game. Overall it's very inexpensive for entertainment during football season. We will be back again and hopefully more to cheer for than the opposing team. ;-) read more

Caught the UCLA vs UNLV game last Saturday. The stadium is in the middle of a huge open area well off the strip. It is old, outdated and in bad need of replacement. That being said, it's not that bad. Look, UNLV is not a national powerhouse but this is Vegas, man. They are an FBS school and they deserve a cool house. It's kinda like University of Oregon. They are a top school and they play in a palace. They have the money for it. UCLA plays in an old rickety Rose Bowl but they have great amenities, a killer scoreboard, replays, decent concessions and partying on a golf course. Boyd has a dusty gravel parking lot, really weak concessions, no video board or replays. The good part are cheap tickets, cheap concessions, they sell alcohol and the sight lines are good. I bought my seats on stubhub. I have never had a problem with them in the past, but some dude came to my seat with my same ticket. Long story short, we both got kicked out. Not the stadiums fault but a crappy way to end an evening. read more

I live close to this stadium and I've never been until last night. Entered on the east side, to my surprise their was no line. I came prepared with my clear stadium approved bag I purchased from Amazon for $6. Walking in it was clean, staff & security everywhere.

Many employees walking around sale goodies, popcorn, beer, water, cotton candy you name it. read more

I like coming to events at Sam Boyd Stadium. I've been to the monster truck several times. And many supercross events as well. I've even been to a couple of football games. Both UFL and UNLV alike. While I always have fun the fact remains that Sam Boyd is showing its age. The concrete is cracked and breaking apart. The seats are warped and have some sharp edges in the curves. It has an overall feel of bare minimum ammenities. And the parking is terrible. I hate having to park in a very rough and rocky parking lot. Dirt or small gravel is one thing but large chunks of asphalt and concerte is quite another. It is time for an upgrade. I hope the new proposed project UNLV has planned grows legs and progresses soon. It would be nice for the school to have a place near campus instead of on the outskirts of town. Fingers crossed. read more

Sam Boyd Stadium - Monster Jam action at Sam Boyd Stadium - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Parking (2/5): Parking is a big hastle. Unless if you get to the stadium three or four hours before the games starts, then you will find the parking easily. $15/per car (cash only), I am not sure if the rates are different for big trucks. I went there for a USC vs Frezno; and because it was a big games. I think they did do a good job directing traffic to the park lot. Ambiance (N/A): I have this category for restaurants, so it doesn't really apply to a stadium. In short, all I can say that ambiance was loud enough for a place full of drunk-passionate USC fans. Service (2/5): There was a lot of hired help, bathrooms were clean enough and the concessions lines moves as a fast enough pace. However, some areas definitely needed more cleaning, i.e. there were trash cans that were overflowing and some toilets in the men room were doing same, except it was more disgusting. Food and beer are very expensive, which should be no surprise to anyone. A bottle of Bud cost $7 and $6 hot dogs were subpar. Overall (2/5), it's a mediocre place for to rob die-hard fans. The stadium itself is very small, but the positive of that is that you feel like you are sitting very close to the actual field. I probably wouldn't have gone there if it wasn't a free ticket ($55) through a consulting company's generosity. read more

It's been 3 years since the last time I attended a game at Sam Boyd Stadium. Not much has changed. The Rebels are still terrible and the stadium is subpar when compared to other college stadiums. They did win against Western Illinois the night I went, so that was a plus. The stadium is outdated and the concessions offered here are terrible. All of the points I made in my original review still apply....someday UNLV will build a new stadium and that will change, I hope.... Return Factor - 50% read more

The bathrooms were atrocious and the parking was even worse. Busses, cars and ride share were all in the same place and was a complete cluster. We ended up walking over a mile to catch an Uber. Cell service is basically nonexistent in the stadium and around it. Won't ever go an event there again. read more

I was able to attend my very first University of Hawaii Rainbow Warrior road football game and it happened to be against UNLV at Sam Boyd Stadium. Since most locals from Hawaii stay downtown Las Vegas at one of the Boyd properties, they also feel very comfortable at this stadium. I heard many things about this venue, unfortunately nothing outstanding. It is easy to find and for football games there are people within the parking lot to guide you in. Most of the attendees park in a large dirt parking lot which is still pretty close to the stadium so you don't have to walk far. Visitors sit facing the sun which we had to face for a couple of hours until it went down. When you walk in, it immediately resembles a tunnel until you step out to the bleachers, yes, bleachers not seats like most stadiums. They rent out seats with a raised back so you can lean back, but those go quick if you don't move fast enough. The sound system could use some improvements as it wasn't clear during the game what was being announced. The restrooms are a little further apart then I think it should be, but then again, it works. Overall, it is a small stadium that can do the job, but is in danger of being categorized as an "antique" or "needs updating" as a new dome is to be built near the Strip to house the future Las Vegas Raiders. read more

Decent stadium on the inside. Good facilities and well maintained Terrible dirt lot for tailgating. I dont see why the grounds are better kept. Lastly, for people visiting, it is way the hell out there. Like most people that dont rent cars in Vegas, it is painfully fair (both in time, and to the wallet). I will come here every 2 years to see my team play the Rebels, and will enjoy the company of friends, but it wont be because of a killer stadium (unlike other places) read more

Monster Jam 2017 was so much fun! We got there 1.5 hour prior to the start and it was already packed BUT it was so easy to get in and out of this place....what a surprise and delight! Employees were really nice and helpful. Though it's stadium style seating they don't cram you in like most places. They give you plenty of room for each person to sit and there is a back support. Bring cushions if you have them, your butt is going to hurt! They allowed people to bring in their own snacks and drinks. We were in section 319. This section was not very steep and was easy to get to our seats. Only complaint food at concession stand was terrible; cheeseburger was horrible, chicken fingers were horrible too. They had lots of vendors walking around the stadium selling selling popcorn, beer, water, peanuts, snow cones, lemonade, churros, cotton candy etc. Parking was FREE. They did have VIP parking for purchase (in advance) and this lot was right in front of the entrance. TIP: Don't be fooled about the weather in Vegas. It was nighttime and even though it was in the low 60's it was cold! Locals knew how to dress; they had jackets and blankets but tourists had to leave because they were dressed in shorts and tee shirts. A lot of people think it's hot in Vegas all year round IT'S NOT!!!! read more

Sam Boyd Stadium - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Football isn't the most popular sport at UNLV and . . . well, the team isn't really the best in the Mountain West. But a stadium doesn't have to host a winner to offer a good football experience. If you get a chance to see a UNLV football game or the Vegas Bowl Game, Boyd Stadium is worth a visit. It's pretty cozy and even the upper seating sections feel closer to the field than they do in most stadiums. Sadly, the UNLV fans are rarely into the game and visiting teams tend to have more fans. That is, unless Nevada-Reno ("UNR") is in town. If you can, grab a ticket to this game. While Nevada-Reno has been dominating lately, it is a rivalry game, the students/fans are intense and it's always one of the best games of the season for UNLV. read more

Sam Boyd Stadium - Warm up - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Man and I thought the WSU stadium was S****y, but yours is just as bad. At least you serve BEER because that is all you have going for you. Cougs out numbered UNLV fans about 3 to 1. So sad. I will say that your cheerleaders and dance team can shake their little fannies off. Looks like they are getting their B.A.in "Dance" with an emphasis on Stripping. How bout some shade? Its only 100 million degress at 6pm with no shade to be found anywhere. OH and learned how to make more than one exit/enterance into a stadium rather than making everyone walk clear all the way around the damn thing. read more

Not a bad place to watch a football game but not a great place either. It's laid out well and parking is a snap. The seating is bench aluminum so hot or cold depends on the season. The AstroTurf is old and the PA system has a busted speaker which is annoying. The service people are nice. It's not plush it's adequate. read more

We went here to go watch a Northwestern football game. 1st I didn't know you couldn't bring a medium size purse inside and my car was way too far to walk it back so they gave me a clear bag to put my stuff in and made me throw the purse away. Which doesn't make since if your letting me keep everything from the purse. We bought tickets which were overpriced next time I'm going on groupon where they had the same tickets for 3 times cheaper then the stadium cost. We paid some high price for endzone tickets but you could barely see what's going on because the poles were in the way. We just ended up moving to a different side. read more

Having been here now for about 10 events and sat on the visitor side, home side, club house and end zone I can say one thing for sure. No matter where you sit in this stadium the view is pretty nice. Sitting on the home side seems to have more vendors and the entrance to the club house is on that side and by elevator. In the club house they will have bars, food lines, soda machines and two sets of restrooms. There are tables along the windows and several couches and chairs for seating as well as about a dozen TVs along the club house. I have always enjoyed events here and the overall organization is good. Enjoy! read more

Love the stadium, seats are comfy, anywhere is a good seat. Easy access as well. Can't wait for the next US Rugby Sevens.
