The Las Vegas Bowl’s change in locations will correspond with the end its 19-year relationship with the MWC, which was last represented by Boise State during a 38-28 victory against Oregon in December.

The bowl game currently takes place at UNLV’s Sam Boyd Stadium, but will move once the soon-to-be Las Vegas Raiders have their new stadium built. The projected 65,00-seat domed stadium is expected to be completed around June 2020.
