Pac-12 moving football championship game to Las Vegas in 2020, 2021

Hollywood, Calif. • Utah fans responded well to their team’s first appearance in the Pac-12 football championship game last November, traveling in big numbers to Santa Clara, Calif.

They will have easier access to the conference title games in 2020 and '21, if the Utes get there.

The Pac-12 has secured a two-year deal to play in the new Las Vegas stadium, where the Oakland Raiders are moving next year, commissioner Larry Scott announced Wednesday during the Pac-12 Football Media Day.

Utah athletic director Mark Harlan labeled the move “really exciting,” considering the proximity of Las Vegas to the school's fan base.
