The last time the Locomotives were on the Sam Boyd Stadium turf, they were celebrating their overtime victory in the inaugural United Football League championship game. That was Nov. 27. Today, about half of that team begins its quest to repeat as the Locos open a three-day minicamp. Las Vegas opens its season under second-year coach Jim Fassel against the Florida Tuskers on Sept. 17 at Sam Boyd Stadium in a rematch of the title game. “On paper, we’re a far better team than last year,” Fassel said. “It’s all elevated from a year ago in every respect.” http://www.lvrj.com/sports/locos-open-camp--quest-to-repeat-96638054.html
