9/17 Alumni Association Tailgate @ Allegiant Stadium

[Pavlovs Eagle]

I'd just like to say to any brave Alumni Association members lurking on GMG... Thank you for the tailgate you put on prior to the UNLV game!

I have complained frequently in the past about a lack of organization at away games for our fans.  The event today was exactly the sort of camaraderie and organization that our fanbase needs to attract people to away gamedays.  Great food, great drinks (based on my current headache I probably over did it on them), and it was great to shake hands and speak with other Mean Green faithful.  IMHO the price of entry was a bargain for 2.5hrs of food and drinks.

Don't let our Athletic and University leadership failures in regards to football kill what you're attempting to start in regards to the events!  Keep it up, you won today for most of us fans who spent their time and money to meet the team in Las Vegas.

Thank you!

It was a cool event. Glad I was able to attend the event and the game.  Good times and great memories, regardless of the outcome of the game.

1st road game for me outside of the DFW area and bowl games. Loved the experience at the tailgate! Has us already talking about the possibility of going to more road games in the future.

Agree. I was with the bride, we got there late but we definitely enjoyed the fun. It was a good event, with good effort by the association to make it a fun event. Glad those are before the game, and not after.

I’d say probably 2-300 including people who just came and went.

Kevin Fralicks and his team are awesome!  That NTAA really is a treat.  Love the Pavilion, love the away tailgates.

The new stadium looks like about 3 miles west of the UNLV campus.  The old Sam Boyd Stadium looks like it was about 10 miles east of the campus.

Late post, but wanted to join in on giving the Alumni Association a thumbs up on a nice, away game tailgate. They had a solid breakfast spread, the drinks were plentiful and the staff and other fans were welcoming. Thanks!

Really proud of how the alumni association is being run these days.  Just seems like there is a lot more planning and spirit than in past years.  Shout out to big Mark Miller for all his hard work on the planning committee.

Agreed. The event was awesome. Thank you all those who put the event together. This was my first away game (and event). Everyone was so welcoming.
 

The outcome was not what we were hoping for. Nonetheless, it was worth the trip. Thought we had a great crowd. They (the Raiders) have a great stadium.
