Sam Boyd Stadium is a football stadium located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The stadium was completed in 1971 at a cost of $3.5 million. An $18 million renovation in 1999 raised the seating capacity to 40,000. The stadium consists of an uncovered horseshoe-shaped single-decked bowl. Temporary seating is occasionally erected in the open north end zone as needed. The stadium is the home of the UNLV football team, and also hosted the Las Vegas Posse of the CFL in 1994 and the Las Vegas Outlaws of the XFL in 2001. It is also the site of the annual Las Vegas Bowl.
