UNLV football brings NIU to Allegiant Stadium for a Halloween showdown that carries some real history with it. These two programs first squared off back in 1987, and while they haven't met often since, the rivalry has some weight — they even crossed paths as Big West Conference members back in 1995. Now, with NIU joining the Mountain West, the Huskies make their way to Las Vegas for the first time in over a decade.

There's something fitting about a Halloween night game inside Allegiant Stadium's climate-controlled bowl, with the desert night outside and the energy of Rebel football fans inside. Expect a stadium atmosphere that blends college football tradition with the modern spectacle of one of the most talked-about venues in the country, all lit up under the stadium's signature lighting as the two teams battle it out on the gridiron.
