LAS VEGAS -- "It was more difficult to get a ticket to the UNLV basketball game than it was to the Frank Sinatra show." -- coach Jerry Tarkanian, on HBO's "Runnin' Rebels of UNLV."
Yeah, this used to be the Rebels' playground. Imagine what the late Tark the Shark would have said about the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders invading Sin City last year.
And when it comes to tickets, what would Tarkanian have thought of it being more expensive to watch the Silver and Black at the corner of Al Davis Way and Dean Martin Drive than to check out Ol' Blue Eyes on the Strip?
