LVCVA tourism chief Steve Hill is pleased the Las Vegas market is hosting the Formula 1 race on the Strip in 2023, Super Bowl 58 at Allegiant Stadium in 2024 and the college basketball’s Final Four in 2028.
But he wants the grand slam of mega sports events in Las Vegas — college football national championship game.
Las Vegas has been on a roll with news that the market is hosting major sports events.
Hill, head of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), said it’s only time until the NCAA announces that Las Vegas will host a national championship football game. The next college football championship game will be in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium next month. The stadium in Inglewood, California opened when Allegiant Stadium opened for business.
LVSportsBiz.com caught up with Hill before the UNLV-UNReno rivalry football game at Allegiant Stadium Saturday afternoon after the NCAA announced Las Vegas would host the Final Four in 2028.
