Denver Post - LOS ANGELES — The Pac-12 will move its football championship game to Las Vegas in 2020 and 2021.
Commissioner Larry Scott announced the decision Wednesday at the start of Pac-12 media day in Hollywood. The league title game has been played at Levi’s Stadium in suburban Santa Clara, California, since 2014. The event has struggled for solid attendance in the past half-decade, including a noticeably empty stadium for Washington’s win over Utah last year. Seemingly everything the Pac-12 touches from Larry Scott to the Pac-12 Network fails. Well for the first time since accepting Colorado to join the conference, The Pac-12 has knocked one out of the park. Las Vegas is infinitely a better location for the championship game than Santa Clara. Simply because no one can get to the stadium as the conference stubbornly demands that kick off starts in the middle of rush hour on a Friday. Literally, no one wants to go to that game and it's a black eye for the entire conference. Thankfully, folks will now have legitimate incentives to go see their school try to qualify for the playo... an NY6 game. Stop by the sports book to lay a few units on your alma mater, day drink at the pool, stumble over to the stadium and then hit the clubs to celebrate a conference title. That sounds like a pretty damn good weekend to me. And maybe, just maybe, we'll no longer see an empty stadium for the biggest Pac-12 football game of the year. Go Buffs.
