UNLV Traditions

The Traditions

UNLV's traditions are evolving alongside the program's rise. The Rebels' entrance through smoke and lights in the darkened dome creates a dramatic NFL-style moment.

Pregame Rituals

Hey Reb!, the mustachioed mascot, works the crowd throughout the game, and the UNLV fight song gets the student section bouncing after every score. The 'Torch' lighting ceremony — where the stadium's iconic exterior Torch glows scarlet on game nights — has become a signature visual.

In-Game Moments

After the 2023 Mountain West championship run, a new generation of traditions is taking root as fan engagement reaches historic levels.
