"With 31,329 in attendance — the third-highest since UNLV began playing at Allegiant Stadium in 2020"

Going to be interesting to see what they will do with the baseball stadium where Tropicana is about to be domlished as well. Wonder if it will feel slammed into a spot on the strip similarly.

Also, the F1 stuff is insane. It’s like 2 months away and they are building all the “temporary” structures already.

Every uber driver I had was bitching about the F1 event

I saw one article that said the rebels came out to support due to attendance….. they forgot to mention almost the entire club section and the Syracuse side was 90%+ orange 9-10k….

I was surprised the announcers never noted SU’s attendance there, lots of Orange in the telecast.

the announcers (Trent Rush and Petros Papadakis) were morons, as thoroughly discussed.

I may have been in that crowd...

I would say we were close to 35-40% of fans in attendance.

To be fair, western crowds don't drink like Eastern crowds.

Is everyone alive?

Barely... Haha

You could definitely tell on the telecast that the Orange was well represented. Heard our cheers and chants drown things out more than a few times. The place erupted when Meeks and Allen scored the last two TD’s. But the surprising thing was how loud it got when the D tackled Williams on 3rd down in OT. Clearly we were louder than the hometown fans. That was all you crazy SyracuseFan people.

On behalf of all of us who couldn’t be there, y’all did us proud! So glad our boys had that support. I’m sure it made a difference.

LGO!!!

What is the F1? Thank you.

 

[JeremyCuse]

I'm alive. That was one for the record books.

Today is my drinking day. You'll find me in a Mandalay Bay beach bungalow or the craps table!

Great to see you again. Same for us, Cabana day at the Sahara

Formula 1 auto racing. They race through the strip. There’s temporary construction that goes up for the race and is taken down after.

much of it has been up all year. second year of a three year contract with an option for out to ten years currently.

Much of it has been taken down as well. Like the temp bridge they are building this year and the temp bleachers as noted in the article attached. The construction going on is due to the temporary structures. Not sure of a debate on that.

So you agree much remained up all year. I too found uber drivers generally hate it, one even said he quits during the period it is completely erected.
I personally would never be in Vegas during that event. Just not for me.

They take it down mostly near the iconic structures. They leave the rest up where it doesn’t interfere so far since last year… basically looks like construction scaffolding and keeps the walk path clear below with seating up top.

Yep if you go back and read every post I made itt I used the word temporary. I was discussing the temporary structures which are causing the issues with the traffic

Great time in Vegas. Walked away with money and good times.

You could say everything in Vegas is a temporary structure, some of the oldest iconic venues are long gone, Tropicana is mostly gone, Excaliber is probably gone in ten years or less. In Vegas the rule is make money or you are gone, you are also gone if more money can be made by replacing what is there. Just the way it is.

True. I go to Vegas usually 3-4 times year. Long time fan of mirage. Sad to see the volcano already ripped up.
