The University of Nevada basketball team could soon have a new home in Reno, Nevada. The city of Reno is planning an expansion of the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino, which could include a new arena for the Wolf Pack basketball team.
The Grand Sierra Resort and Casino is one of the largest casinos in Reno and has been a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. The resort is owned by MGM Resorts International and is located in downtown Reno. The proposed expansion plan would include a new arena that would be used for the University of Nevada basketball team. The arena would be able to seat up to 10,000 people and would be used for both home games and special events.
The proposed expansion plan has been met with mixed reactions from the local community. Some are excited about the potential economic benefits that the new arena could bring to the city. Others are concerned about the potential noise and traffic that could come with a large arena.
The University of Nevada basketball team currently plays their home games at the Lawlor Events Center, which is located on the university’s campus. The Lawlor Events Center has been the home of the Wolf Pack since 1983 and is a popular venue for both basketball and other events. However, the arena is aging and is in need of renovations.
The proposed expansion plan could provide the University of Nevada with a much-needed upgrade to their basketball facilities. It could also provide the city of Reno with an economic boost, as the new arena would attract more visitors to the city.
The proposed expansion plan is still in its early stages and it remains to be seen if it will come to fruition. If it does, it could be a great opportunity for both the University of Nevada and the city of Reno.
