RE: Vegas Game Thoughts
The one good thing about playing in the heat at that time, was that it kept home fans from coming out. This allowed many Huskie fans, including my group, to move to 50 yard line seats. And in the second half when the sun moved behind the press/sky box structure and there was a little breeze, it was actually quite pleasant.

I was there, and you're right. Even at 4:00 the conditions aren't too bad if you can get into the shade of the pressbox. And once the sun goes down there really is nothing better.

But 4:00 on the visitor's sideline.... Pure evil. Mwuahahahahah. But it still wasn't enough to get the W.

Sat on the NIU side at midfield. It was't hot at all. Just have to be used to it.

I think that the heat might have contributed to the teams weaker performance in the second half.

RE: Vegas Game Thoughts
I can't even say how God awful HOT it was there on the visitor side in the sun. We brought cooling towels & wore wide brim hats to protect ourselves. Our water that we bought was hot in NO time so we refilled the empty bottles & poured water on ourselves & our clothes to cool off. That helped a lot.

I think we had an excellent turn out. I was surprised & happy to see THAT many NIU fans.

It is a nice stadium. They sell alcohol but honestly at 100 degrees the thought of beer didn't even sound good.
The concessions people were kind enough to give a plastic glass of ice when you bought water which was a huge help for trying to stay cool.

All the fans were very nice too. Overall it was a good game experience once the shade got to us.

I think you can get it in different ways, but I get there through unlvrebels.com, under the "sports" tab, click "football", then loll through the different stories til you see the one that is the recap of NIU/UNLV, and the video should be imbedded into the page.

The broadcast never showed a replay of the punter flopping.
