Wouldn't it be cheaper to fly into Vegas and drive north to Reno?

Probably .... but then you're talking about an 8 hour drive as opposed to a 4 or 2 1/2 hour one ..

Well given that gasoline well be about $4.50 or more come the return of football season it might just be cheaper to fly into Reno... take Southwest from Tampa to Reno with a minor delay in either Denver, Las Vegas, or Phoneix.

If you're dead set on the "fly in to California and drive" option, there are also airports in Oakland and San Jose you could consider. It's a scenic drive over the Sierras and should be nice and sunny that time of year, but keep in mind it's a minimum of four hours (even more than that if you're coming from SF and encounter traffic).

Either way, swing by our message board and feel free to ask us any questions you may have.

Thanks Pack Backer.

Your best option is going to be to fly into Reno directly, stay here and gamble all week. ;) . But if you fly into California and drive up, San Jose, Oakland and Sac are your best options. Smaller airports, easier access, and they're not nearly as busy as SF. I believe they're also cheaper to fly into. Either way we're looking forward to you guys coming here in September. It should be a great game!

team hotel

In the past -- and barring any big changes this season -- visiting teams have usually stayed at the Grand Sierra. It's a few miles away from the downtown core of casinos, but it's a nice big property with decent rooms.

The downtown core is about a mile and a half away from the stadium. It's a walkable distance, but is mostly uphill getting there. There's also a free shuttle service with stops at the stadium and throughout downtown that will operate before and after the game.

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
