UNLV sold out its home games last year (18,577) vs. New Mexico, Wyoming and San Diego State – marking the second consecutive regular-season game vs. the Aztecs that sold out the Thomas & Mack Center.
Just four days after facing the Aztecs, the Runnin’ Rebels will host second-place Colorado State on Wednesday, Feb. 20, at 7 p.m. Tickets to the CSU game are available.
Last season UNLV fans filled the Thomas & Mack Center at the highest levels since Jerry Tarkanian’s final year as head coach in 1991-92, as the attendance average of 14,474 fans per game ranked 17th in the country (fourth straight year in the top 25) and No. 1 on the West Coast. The Runnin’ Rebels’ season-opening crowd of 18,187 this year vs. Northern Arizona was a school record for attendance for a season home opener. This season’s average attendance has been 15,223 so far through 13 games at the TMC.
