- Fresno State will make its second trip to Las Vegas in 2020 for its neutral site showdown with New Mexico at UNLV's former home venue, Sam Boyd Stadium. It has acted as the Lobos' home for the entirety of the 2020 season due to the current state health protocols and guidelines in New Mexico.
- The Bulldogs' last game at Sam Boyd Stadium is a fond memory, as it was the 2018 Las Vegas Bowl. Fresno State defeated Arizona State 31-20 for a program record 12th win.
- The last time the Bulldogs played a neutral site game that wasn't a bowl game was in 2011 when Fresno State played Cal at Candlestick Park on Sept. 3, 2011.
