Fargo Valley City, ND, October 8, 2026 — UNLV head football coach Dan Mullen is implementing strategies aimed at boosting fan enthusiasm and increasing attendance for the UNLV football program. In his efforts, Mullen is looking to successful models from collegiate football, notably drawing parallels to the fan-building initiatives undertaken by former North Dakota State coach Craig Bohl.
The challenge for Mullen and the UNLV football team is significant, given their location in Las Vegas. The city is a global hub for entertainment, presenting a competitive landscape for capturing the attention of potential fans and residents.
Mullen’s objective is to cultivate a robust and dedicated home-grown fan base for UNLV football. This focus on local support is seen as a key component in building the program’s presence and appeal within the Las Vegas community.
While the summary does not specify the exact methods Mullen is employing to emulate Craig Bohl’s successful fan-building efforts, the comparison suggests an interest in replicating strategies that fostered strong community ties and consistent support at North Dakota State. The exact nature of these tactics or the specific achievements of Craig Bohl’s tenure at North Dakota State were not provided.
The success of these endeavors will be measured by UNLV’s ability to attract and retain fans amidst the many entertainment options available in Las Vegas. The coach’s focus remains on developing a more engaged and larger supporter base for the UNLV football team.
