Regents approve agreement for UNLV use of Raiders stadium | The Sacramento Bee

Nevada's Board of Regents has approved a joint-use agreement that will allow the UNLV football team to use the $1.9 billion stadium planned for the Oakland Raiders when the NFL team moves to Las Vegas in 2020.

The board approved the measure Friday on an 11-1 vote.

The Las Vegas Review Journal reports Regent Rick Trachok was the only one opposed.

He said he wanted greater assurance of UNLV's financial commitment in the event it decides not to use the stadium because of the costs.
