CFB: Las Vegas Bowl sells out two months in advance

Associated Press

LAS VEGAS -- The 16th annual Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl has already sold out, more than two months in advance of the game.

The football matchup on Dec. 22 pits the top-ranked Mountain West Conference team with the fourth or fifth place team from the Pac-10.

Last year, the bowl attracted a crowd of nearly 45,000 fans.

It's the third sellout of the game. Last year, fans packed Sam Boyd Stadium to see Brigham Young University defeat Oregon 38-8.

The bowl also will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.
