The Las Vegas Locomotives (called the Locos for short) are a professional American football team based in Las Vegas, Nevada who play in the United Football League. The team plays its home games in Sam Boyd Stadium, home field for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Jim Fassel is the franchise's head coach and general manager. The Locomotives are the only UFL team to have won any of the league's championships, having won both the 2009 and 2010 UFL Championship Games, and the last of the four charter UFL franchises to remain in its original home city.
Franchise history[]
