  • Sam Boyd Stadium History
    Sam Boyd Stadium History Facility History Named after a prominent Las Vegas hotel owner and gaming pioneer, the facility has evolved over the years not only in size (from 15,000 to 32,000 and to 40,000 seats) but in the way it handled event bookings, marketing, and sponsorship opportunities. Sam Boyd Stadium is home to the UNLV Rebel Football team, the Las Vegas Bowl, AMA Supercross Series Finals, the Monster Jam World Finals and the Vegoose music festival. The Grateful Dead played the Sam Boyd Stadium for five consecutive years from 1991 to 1995, all of which have set records for the top grossing and highest attended shows. The band’s final performance in Las Vegas (1995) holds the #1 position, with 125,533 fans attending the concert which grossed over $3.7 million. Other music superstars who performed at the stadium include the Eagles, Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Matthews Band, Beck, Jack Johnson, Tom Petty, The Killers, Metallica, U2, Rage Against The Machine, Daft Punk , and The Roots. The stadium celebrated its 25 th anniversary in the fall of 1996 by hosting the UNLV vs. Wisconsin football game with 41,091 fans attending the event, setting the record for the state's largest attendance at an outdoor sporting event. Beginning in the fall of 1998, the Sam Boyd Stadium underwent a major $17.5 million renovation and expansion project, adding 9,000 seats to the stadium and reconfiguring the current seating capacity to 40,000. The improvements included a new concourse, upgraded and expanded restrooms, upgraded concession stands, a new press box, repaved parking lots, upgraded ADA access, and a new scoring system as well as a new playing surface.

  • Stadiums, Arenas and Events Centers
    Stadiums, Arenas and Events Centers As legalized gaming has spread throughout the United States and the around the world, Las Vegas has diversified its non-gaming offerings to continue to attract visitors as a world-class tourist destination. Special events, such as concerts and sporting events, play an increasingly larger role in the diversity of the visitor experience, and those events are frequently hosted by a handful of high-capacity venues such as stadiums, arenas and events centers. After building 60,000 rooms during the past two decades, Las Vegas is now building reasons to fill them – stadiums, arenas and events centers are key element of that shift. Large-Capacity Multi-Purpose Venues in Southern Nevada Maximum Year Venue Capacity Built Sam Boyd Stadium 40,000* 1971 T-Mobile Arena 20,000 2016 Thomas & Mack Center 18,500 1983 MGM Grand Garden Arena 16,800 1993 Mandalay Bay Events Center 12,000 1999 Cashman Field 10,000 1983 Orleans Arena 9,000 2003 * Sam Boyd Stadium capacity ranges from 36,000 to 40,000 depending on seating arrangement Today, special events play a larger role in attracting visitors to Las Vegas than just a decade ago. In 2004, 4 percent of visitors cited a special event as the primary reason for their visit, a number that had been relatively unchanged for years before and after, according the annual visitor profile survey by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (“LVCVA”). That figure has climbed higher in recent years, reaching 9 percent in 2013 before settling at 7 percent in 2014.
