@bresee_k @jesseb_phd Northwestern just finished an $870M stadium that seats 35,000, the same as Albertsons. Don't make this a metric, it actually doesn't matter. It's just favoritism and what will sell more streaming subs.

@KipBouton @jesseb_phd I agree, UNLV has not done enough yet on the field yet to merit that jump. I believe Boise has done enough on the field already, but their stadium capacity prevents them from selling enough seats to financially keep up at the P4 level. P4 leagues care about that when inviting!
English
One of these stadiums is not like the others
One of these stadiums doesn't belong
Can you tell which team gets a P4 invite before the others
By the time we finish our song? 😁
MWC - UNLV
or
PAC - Boise, SDSU, Oregon St, WSU, Fresno, USU, TXST, CSU
English
@jesseb_phd @bresee_k UNLV ranks the highest in the conference in empty seats. Don't claim that Vegas is ready for a jump when the city barely knows there's a game.
English
@229SouthFlorida @NoSocksJonny Why is no one talking about UTSA? San Antonio is 1.2M with a stadium that seats 64,000.
English
@NoSocksJonny If they built an on campus stadium they might be a pretty serious target. But as of now they’re likely behind UConn, USF, Memphis
English
UNLV has more empty seats than anyone! Let them in the Big 12!

Drop the most random Boise State football player you can think of in the comments! Let’s see who actually remembers them. 👇 🏈

These idiots don't understand that half filled in the 65,000 seat Arena is still over 32,000 But we have room to grow. They're already at capacity
Chris Johnson@feardemonkey
@LGBrandonB @sdsportsfiend And … ? UNLV has had one of the highest rated incoming classes in the G6 each of the last 3 years. So half filled hasn’t mattered.
English
@PhillyVUNLV @UNLVRebelGrl No matter how worthy you think you are, you're pretty much banned from joining until you actually win the conference you started once. They won't even look at you until you can do that.
English
@KipBouton @UNLVRebelGrl Memphis was a one time deal Vegas is forever
English
UNLV does. UNLV will move to a P4 soon enough. If you didn't think it had any value, why did you and OSU beg us multiple times to join your conference only to be rejected as did so many other schools reject you?
PacCougs@Pac12cougs
@realdanihgh @bresee_k If UNLV has the value that all these clowns think they have…it wouldn’t have been moved.

@iamthebyson @UNLVRebelGrl @gwar500044044 This is what you'll never understand Kim. You think casinos will let you play with the elite. If that were true, you would have bought the best players in the country with the biggest NIL budget. But instead, you couldn't win the Mountain West in your best 3 years in history.
English
@UNLVRebelGrl @KipBouton @gwar500044044 Yes, being in a big city has always been a prerequisite to be in a power conference😂Just think of all the big city entertainment options in places like Tuscaloosa, Baton Rouge, Norman, Ann Arbor, Eugene! Plenty more along those lines. CFB isn’t the NFL or NBA.
English
@UNLVRebelGrl @gwar500044044 Why would I stop telling the truth? You keep mentioning all these other sports like that's supposed to make UNLV look better. None of this is relevant to the Rebels. You can't fill your stadium for football. Call me when you change that.
English
@KipBouton @gwar500044044 Stop saying the city doesn't care about the Rebels because clearly they do. But unlike your jump of a city, we actually have a team that's on the verge of playing for the Stanley cup championships again. I guarantee you 90% of the people in Boise. Don't give a 💩 about your team.
English
@PhillyVUNLV @UNLVRebelGrl You can't buy your way into the P4 if that's what you're thinking. Memphis already tried. I'm saying neither team is worthy of a P4 invite and that's not my platform. I'm just saying your fanbase's crusade to claim they're P4 is hilarious and bad. Focus on your schedule 1st.
English
@KipBouton @UNLVRebelGrl You using football games won as the only criteria to be a possible power 4 candidate . were using the economic impact that Vegas Cash cow . Casinos sponsorships . Hotels. Travel destination which can infuse millions in a conference . but hang your hat on your wins
English
@PhillyVUNLV @UNLVRebelGrl @OS_Beaver Phil, why are you trying to compare Boise to Vegas? What's that got to do with the price of tea in China? Everything you listed isn't a championship NCAA football team. You keep thinking the wallpaper makes you more attractive when you're still 2nd rate to Boise State football.
English
@KipBouton @UNLVRebelGrl @OS_Beaver All you look at junior is football . you don't look at what attracts a power 4 conference. Economic growth corporate backing. Travel destinstion Vegas has it all
NFL
NHL
NBA
MLB
UFC
WNBA
THE SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT CAPITAL OF THE WORLD
What the fuck does Boise have ?
English
@UNLVRebelGrl Not true at all. We match nearly all ticket sales to attendance. So don't twist that definition around. Attendance means attending, not buying. Sure you may have sold more tickets than it shows. Here's a little cheer for that 🎉. Butts in seats is how you quantify fans.
English
@KipBouton Tickets sold our tickets sold whether they show up or not it doesn't really matter. We still got the revenue from the tickets. I guarantee you Boise has the same situation. Tickets sold versus ticket scanned
English
@PhillyVUNLV @UNLVRebelGrl Phil, somehow you sound less educated but you sure do like to mention graduating from UNLV. Stop coping like Kim does. If you can't beat the best of the G6, you don't belong in the P4. It's that simple.
English
@KipBouton @UNLVRebelGrl You are stupid as fuck . quit letting mommy take care of you and move out
English
@UNLVRebelGrl @gwar500044044 The city really doesn't care about UNLV. You have a couple casinos seeing an opportunity to advertise, but you don't have real buy-in from the city. Also, don't talk about Boise when you continue to refuse to travel for a game. We're a little tougher than UNLV fans in the cold.
English
@KipBouton @gwar500044044 That's a load of crap. Your town is so boring that all there is to do is go to football games. We're the entertainment capital of the world. We have a team for every major pro sport, now or coming. We're a big city which is what makes us attractive to power conferences.
English
@UNLVRebelGrl @gwar500044044 Which is why we're a real college town. I don't care that we don't have Broadway shows and UFC fights. What's that got to do with college football? You don't make it a religion in your town like we do. That's why we're different and that's why BSU stays the top G6 program.
English
@KipBouton @gwar500044044 What he's saying basically there's a lot less to do in Boise yet we still get 32,000 people coming to our games
English
@UNLVRebelGrl "Most expensive" seems to be the theme of what you value the most. You could never win a Fiesta Bowl trophy because that would mean you'd have to make the playoff. We are the reason the G6 gets to play for them still. Trophy with Reno... this means nothing.
English
@KipBouton Not at all your, meaningless trophies mean something to you. Our Canon is as I said the most expensive largest trophy college football. We have to win it every year. No one at UNLV would trade it for some stupid Fiesta Bowl trophy nobody but you care about.
English
I like this one better. It's the largest most expensive trophy in all college football and has about as much meaning to our school as your two meaningless trophies have to your school.

@UNLVRebelGrl @sports8 @wilnerhotline We like these better. 2 of them are from going undefeated. When you go undefeated, you change the conversation about the BCS. Boise State is 1 of the reasons why we have a playoff today. People wanted us to play Florida and Ohio State. 2 teams could have beat anyone.
English
@KipBouton we averaged 32,000 fans last season not 20,000 We have more commitment to our football program than you do for yours. Your rundown Stadium with a gimmick blue carpet and your outdated facilities show no commitment. Not to mention subpar academics & a poor market
English
@gwar500044044 @UNLVRebelGrl This is what everyone else realizes about UNLV. All the distractions in the city are NOT to your favor. You play 5th fiddle in that town.
English
@KipBouton @UNLVRebelGrl It's probably easier to fill a stadium with less entertainment options on a Saturday.
