Havent been to a game yet but would like to get down there. There has always been skepticism about Vegas's ability to support a professional sports team due to the relatively small market size and transient population. The best way to solve that problem, and to establish loyalty/following...is to WIN! Pretty awesome how well they have done this year. The more they can continue the success the more popular the team is going to become in town.
I have not been to many Pro Hockey games but the atmosphere is really hype. Being that we are such a transient town one week seat holders will wear their Knights gear and the next their hometown team gear. Recently when we actually attended a game and didn't work it the Pens fans were aplenty. All the bars and food places were full of people before the game. The fans are amazing and crowd is into it. Some of the staff from other teams have commented that it can be a tough venue due to some of the noise. They say it seems compact like an pit not an arena. The food prices and drink prices here are nominal compared with some places I have been. Hopefully the team keeps doing well and the fans hold on even if next year we are not as on fire.
Dude no shitt the players aren’t from NV. I don’t get your point. Do you think everyone who plays for their team in any sport (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL) is from there?
I guess if we had to lose....
