The game is taking place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, which is the home of the Raiders.
There was a 2021 version of the game between Arizona and BYU. The matchup between LSU and USC is a really prime one. If the Vegas Kickoff Classic is able to keep building top matchups like that in the future, this will become a heavily anticipated game each year.
