    It's being proposed in a few weeks in Vegas to Steve Wynn and some other casino owners, who may invest in it. Only a mile or so from the Strip, on the west side of the UNVL campus, and way closer to the casinos than Sam Byrd is right now.

    Their hope is NFL exhibition games, huge concerts, and NCAA Final Fours. Should the NCAA get over their stupid rule on legal gambling and have a huge party in Vegas for a Final Four?

    Really? I'd love that, actually. You probably have more info on it than I do. I just know that every casino in Vegas near the Strip is being hit up for this thing.

    Makes sense to me.

    That'd be a good venue for the PAC-12 Championship game or the Natty.

    Also, are there any sketches you can post of the proposed stadium?

    The design looks awesome but getting those casino tycoons to chip in is going to be a struggle.

    Rumour is the show they really want to host is the Superbowl. Without a team it seems like a stretch.
