UNLV will open this fall’s football season with a game against Jackson State University on Sept. 1, 2016 at Sam Boyd Stadium.
Individual tickets to the game go on sale in the summer, but group and season tickets are available now at (702) 739-FANS or visiting unlvtickets.com.
The partnership is between the two schools and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA).
“We wanted our season-opener to stand out as we celebrate the program that head coach Tony Sanchez is building here and this will be more than just a game, it will be a party,” Director of Athletics Tina Kunzer-Murphy said in a statement Monday.
