A recent report states that the Big Ten Championship Game may have a second site in the near future. The Las Vegan Review-Journal has reported that the Big Ten and Las Vegas officials are in early discussions about the city hosting the league’s title game.
Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority President and CEO Steve Hill told the outlet that talks are currently in the very early stages.
“The Big Ten has asked us to submit proposals. I’m sure they have asked a number of cities. We are certainly interested, will put our best foot forward and know there is no better place for their football championship.”
If the game was to be played in Vegas, it would take place at Allegiant Stadium home of the Raiders. The stadium is currently scheduled to host Super Bowl LVIII in February of 2024.
The conference title game has been played in Indianapolis since its creation in 2011. The contract with Lucas Oil Stadium is expected to expire after the 2024 edition of the game.
