By the time Sam Boyd Stadium reaches its 50th birthday in 2021, the bleachers, parking lots and football field might not be there.

That’s because UNLV officials are considering several options — including the sale of the site — because of the relocation of the Oakland Raiders to their new home in Las Vegas.

“One option is that we would sell it and see what funds we could get,” said Gerry Bomotti, senior vice president for finance and business at UNLV.
