Las Vegas was my Summer home 🏡 a couple of years ago which allowed me to watch the Raiders new home park get built from the ground up.
Fast forward to tonight when Booogz and I were able to attend the SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl to watch Arizona State of the Pac-12 take on Wisconsin out of the Big 10. It’s our third time taking in the Vegas Bowl but the first time inside the new Diggs.
Getting to hold the game annually in the Gem 💎 of the Desert 🏜 moved it WAY up the Bowl food chain including trading out the Mountain West Conference for the Big 10 as opposition for the host Pac-12.
The stadium was advertised as one that would have every bell and whistle possible which it does and then Marc Davis added a 90 foot tall torch to pay homage to his Father, Al Davis. Behind the torch is the East end of the park which is all glass allowing the fans to see the Lights of the Vegas Strip. Capacity is listed at 65,000 which includes a large number of Luxury boxes. There are a large number of similarities to the Falcons new park back in Atlanta but having the Strip as a backdrop might be hard for the next Best Thing to match!
Wisconsin has made itself at home here in the first quarter taking a 14-3 lead in the battle of 8-4 squads.
