LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Once the home of the Las Vegas Silver Bowl, concerts and monster truck jams, the sale of Sam Boyd Stadium to Clark County was unanimously approved on Wednesday.
Clark County has not released a plan for the stadium, but a representative at the meeting suggested it might be used as a public space, like a park.
The contract contains clauses requiring extra approvals depending on what the county decides to do with the land.
