LAS VEGAS - UNLV football will hold its first spring practice of the year on Monday, March 10 to begin a 15-session schedule that culminates with a traditional spring game at Sam Boyd Stadium on April 18.
The Rebels pull on the pads under head coach Mike Sanford for the fourth time and will once again have the luxury of performing on the AstroPlay synthetic surface on campus at Ernie Becker Sr. Football Fields at Bill "Wildcat" Morris Rebel Park.
UNLV is scheduled to practice every Monday, Wednesday and Friday except for taking one week off for spring break on March 17-21.
