LAS VEGAS - The October 20 football game between UNLV and Colorado State at Sam Boyd Stadium has been selected as Homecoming 2007 for the Rebels and will kick off at 6 p.m. PT, the athletics department announced Friday.

With the Rebels vs. Rams game set, all times for UNLV's home appearances this fall have now been announced.

A school-record seven of UNLV's 12 opponents in 2007 played in bowl games last year, including four that are coming to Sam Boyd fresh off postseason victories. UNLV will open its 40th season of football by traveling to Western Athletic Conference member Utah State on Thursday, Aug. 30 for its only non-Saturday game of the season. The Rebels' home schedule begins Sept. 8 when the University of Wisconsin, fresh from a Capital One Bowl victory and 12-1 overall record, returns to Las Vegas for the first time since 2002. The Badgers have been part of all three of UNLV's all-time sell-outs, including a record crowd of 42,075 in Wisconsin's most-recent trip.

Season tickets are now on sale by calling (702) 739-FANS. Prices for the six-game home package are $90 in the end zone and $165 for sideline seating. Premium seating requires an additional Rebel Athletic Fund donation. Individual tickets are scheduled to go on sale July 23 (see prices below).
