Good one, Stallion, it was Anthony Beverly. Nice young man, well spoken, and a "hit man" as I recall. Good times. Nice to see the good times returning.

And it's still a wind tunnel.
Good thing my dad didn't use that ticket to get a drink. Only in Las Vegas.
Maybe they've done some recent upgrades because this photo makes it look pretty nice: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:UNLVS ... tadium.jpg
BTW It's definitely still a wind tunnel. Anyone watch the BYU game last year (Las Vegas Bowl)? Looked like they were playing in a hurricane.
I should have clarified that the inside of the stadium looks the same. I forgot they added that tower for the press box.
Back then, I think those seat backs were gold. Also, if you open up CalAllen's photo, that mountain you see in the background is known as the Sheep Range (looks really cool when there is snow on it). Just a little factoid.
