All eyes shifted toward Sam Boyd Stadium when the Oakland Raiders filed for relocation to Las Vegas this week.
Can the 40,000-seat stadium on East Russell Road be the temporary home of the Silver and Black? UNLV athletic director Tina Kunzer-Murphy says yes.
“I think it’s a possibility because of what we just saw with the San Diego Chargers moving,” Kunzer-Murphy said. “I think so many people would be so sad and it would be difficult to leave Oakland, and I think that if (the Raiders) decide to come here early, I think there’s no city like Las Vegas and we can get our stadium ready and prepared.
