Headbutt Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Downtown fan fest tomorrow. We getting a new court at the T&M so why not set this sucker up outside and have some slam dunk and 3 point contests?I like it. Are we talking fans playing in these contests, or just fans watching. This should be a public sendoff, with just anybody off the street participating. If that's the case, then major props to UNLV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, then major props to UNLV.That's a great idea however I think just the players will be on the court.The event is not really being billed as a send-off for the old court but I figure its got to be one of the last times, if not the last time, it will be used.

AztecSU Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 When I read the title, hoped it was a SJSU fan posting...maybe next year they'll finally rid us all of the Soldiers of Sharta court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestintheWest Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Should be a fun event. Kinda sucks the main show won't be there. Derrick jones isnt participating because of an ankle sprain. All is well, For Rice is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why they would ever get rid of it since it gives them a tremendous home court advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierRebel Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I won't be able to make it, but I hope this becomes an annual event. I'd even like to see the scrimmage played downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swoll Cracker Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I think I read somewhere that Dave Rice's intra-squad scrimmage record is sub .500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonkee Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Will the new court look the same?I just heard they were getting one a few days ago as part of the T&M renovations and have not heard anything regarding the design. I am crossing my fingers so hard that there is not a Vegas skyline graphic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonkee Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 I heard it will have some similarities to the football field. I'm good with making it a bit more "Vegas".Side note: Why isn't "Viva Las Vegas" a bigger part of UNLV. I know the band plays it but Elvis frickin Presley did a song about our city and we get nothing out of it besides some weird f reno sucks chant or something. We should play Viva Las Vegas during the fireworks and everybody should sing the viva Las Vegas part really loud at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
