2024 Big 12 Football Media Days in Las Vegas on July 9-10
The Big 12 is headed to the desert this summer as the conference has announced that it will be holding the 2024 Big 12 Media Days at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on July 9 and 10.
Reports surfaced late last year that the Big 12 football media days would move from Arlington, Texas to Las Vegas due to scheduling conflicts for 2024 and 2025.
According to a Big 12 press release, the two-day event will be held at Allegiant Stadium on Tuesday, July 9 and Wednesday, July 10, and will feature head football coaches and student-athletes from each Big 12 institution. The 2024 Football Media Days will also serve as the debuts of Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah as Big 12 programs.
“I’m thrilled to announce Big 12 Football Media Days are heading west for the first time in league history,” said Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark. “The Big 12 lives at the intersection of sports and entertainment – as the Entertainment Capital of the World, Las Vegas is an ideal location to kick off the 2024 season. We are grateful to the Las Vegas Raiders and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority for their partnership and support.”
Las Vegas Raiders’ president Sandra Douglass Morgan says the Raiders are proud to be hosting the Big 12 for its first trip to Vegas.
“On behalf of The Raiders and Allegiant Stadium, we are proud to host the inaugural Big 12 Media Days in Las Vegas. As a world-class facility that has hosted global marquee events, we’re honored for the Big 12 to showcase their upcoming 2024 football season,” said Douglass.
Steve Hill, the President and CEO Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), also says the entertainment capital of the world is excited to host the league’s media days.
“We are excited to welcome the Big 12 Media Days to Las Vegas for the first time,” said Hill. “As a city built on hospitality, we are thrilled that the Big 12 Conference has chosen Las Vegas, and we are eager to show these organizations, coaches, athletes and media that there is no better place to hold an event than Las Vegas.”
The Big 12 Conference is also partnering with MGM Resorts International, with Bellagio serving as the official hotel for Media Days.
