Players, fans, and alumni said their final goodbye to Sam Boyd Stadium that night. Several alumni and ex-football players gathered in the stadium for a final farewell as this is the final season played at Sam Boyd. Sam Boyd Stadium has been home to the Rebel football team since 1971. The stadium is named after Sam Boyd, a large figure in the casino industry in Las Vegas. There are mixed emotions about the relocation, especially from those who have been going to Rebel football games for years. The stadium's future is unknown at the moment, the property could potentially be sold or demolished.
UNLV football's future home is Allegiant Stadium, which will also house the Oakland Raiders in the 2020 football season.
