that stadium is very difficult to get to. I would lean into agreeing with 3x that the main issue was 5pm on a Friday, but truly, a Saturday game still would've seen really shitty attendance. i've never been to the stadium but i've read enough that is it a shitshow to get to. like i said - its the most expensive weekend getaway of any P12 city, by far. you alienate a lot of fans.

but with Vegas, how many schools can easily drive there? USC, UCLA, ASU, U of A, Utah, Colorado, and its about 8.5 hours away from Cal and Stanford.

so you have about 8 schools within driving distance to Vegas. plus its Vegas. i know SF is a tourist destination, but isnt the stadium an HOUR away from SF proper? im not seeing any positives of the game being in SF.
