PAC-12 Championship Game Moving to Las Vegas

[AlaskaGuy]

LA for one year and then on to Vegas!

The Pac-12 Championship game is moving out of Levi’s Stadium in 2020

Here's some renderings of the stadium that will be home to the Washington Huskies once every December.

Is it ok if I steal this ?

If anybody asks, I'll make sure to tell them this came from you.

Shit... Chumlee will buy up blocks of tickets and try to scalp em.

Are you sure Vegas can handle the influx of dozens of fans?

Why do you think they moved it from Santa Clara to Vegas.

It's a GREAT move! It will become an EVENT that can be planned ahead of time by fans with easy access from all corners of the Pac!

I'll say this, I'd rather go see a game for a weekend in Vegas than in LA.

Do you really think that it's going to make that much of a difference?

It sure won't hurt. For a fair amount of the PAC, Vegas is actually closer.

If they'd quit having the games on Friday night, that would help too.

Have you ever been to Sanat Clara?

This, plus as mentioned, fans can make an entire weekend out of it in Vegas, there is fuck all to do in Santa Clara, and while the Bay area can be nice, it's not exactly a fun weekend destination.

Yep. From where I live, it's about a 4-5 hour drive to Vegas (8-9 hours to Santa Clara) depending on how much time I spend at Alien Fresh Jerky in Baker. lol

This is actually probably the only smart thing the PAC Commissioner has done. If he were truly smart, he'd move the game to Saturday.

That would make it a whole lot easier for folks to make a weekend of it.

Unfortunately, he hasn't shown himself to be smart enough to figure that out. Soooo...

I would be more willing to go to Vegas than Santa Clara. I think it’s a smart move.

Yep. Cheap flights, hotels, and plenty of stuff for the family to do to make it a weekend.

Should be in Vegas all the time. No idea why the PAC-12 doesn't utilize Vegas more given it's proximity to all of the PAC schools.

The PAC already plays their men's BB tournament in Vegas.

Football should be there now even before the new stadium gets built. Heck they hold bowl games there.

Get out of San Fran ASAP.

Scratch LA off the list.

Yes, the Huskies are likely headed to the Las Vegas Bowl for years to come.
