Guess one game with UNLV was enough

Instead, we're going to Fort Collins next year.

Probably a disappointment for the dozen or so Zips fans who were looking for an excuse to make the trip out to Vegas. Overall, this should be a better game for Akron. Colorado St isn't at the level of a UNLV so it should at least be a little more competitive.

They also visit Arizona State so that’s two trips out West. If they would happen to play Sacramento State out there, they will really be racking up some frequent flyer miles.

TBF if we have to fly out to Sacramento State then Sacramento State would be the one paying for travel as that's part of their agreement when they joined the MAC.

I haven't priced plane tickets just lately but it shouldn't be too hard or expensive to do both. You can get a direct round trip to Vegas from most airports on most carriers and then it's a relatively short round trip to Fort Collins. I did a similar trip in 2024 to visit family on the west coast with brief stayovers in LV coming and going. Although I've never been to the UNLV campus so it would have been fun to attend a game there.

It looks like it's 800 miles from Vegas to Fort Collins and then 800 miles back. That's not relatively short round trip, at least not to mention lol.

 

I wasn't planning to make the trip though so it's not like I'm the target demographic.

Honestly if I were going to go out west, I'm probably more inclined to go to Fort Collins than to Las Vegas.
