Some potential talking points: - Why Vegas owns. - Why Vegas is bad. - How you spent a weekend here poo poo-faced years ago so you definitely know the team will fail and no one will like it. - How we're going to take bad players and aging vets and make them good and stomp all over your bad teams. - How Seattle and QC loving suck and don't deserve anything good. I've been living here since I was 4 and I turn 28 next week. I've literally waited my whole life for a pro sports team to call my own

achillesforever6 posted:Vegas was a cool place to finish off my 3 month tour with the Utah Conservation Corps, parents came up to pick me up and take me to Vegas for the week, Monte Carlo was a pretty nice Casino to stay. Ate way too much expensive food, but walking through all the casinos was fun; won jack poo poo because turns out I suck at playing slots. Shame that in 20-30 years Vegas will be an empty husk of a city after they use up all the fresh groundwater/lake mead for lawns and golf courses. Yeah the water rights for the Colorado river are totally hosed. I don't know where I'll be in 20-30 years but I know where I'll be opening day 2017 motherfuckers!! Edit: I'm also glad you had a good time. I like the Monte Carlo a lot, and I'm kind of sad they're remodeling/rebranding it. pizza valentine fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Jun 23, 2016 |

It'd be kinda cool if they were the Silver Knights and used silver/black. I guess things would get kind of weird when playing the Kings, but I always liked that about Pittsburgh's teams. Although I'm sure there's no way the creator would want to base the identity around a football team. pizza valentine fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Sep 15, 2016 |

Paulocaust posted:I spend about a month of every year in Vegas and I still haven't met a single person that gives a poo poo about this team. I mean I'm stoked as hell and will be there for the franchise opener but it really is strange. My coworkers, my boss, and I were all very excited to pick out our seats together a few days ago for our season tickets.

Paulocaust posted:Well I spend most of my time at poker tables so maybe the degenerate scum I mingle with aren't predisposed to being hockey fans Haha maybe. It's still a weird situation I guess. We have lots of transplants so I imagine when the more popular teams roll into town the arena will be packed. Otherwise we'll probably have middling attendance until the team is good. A quick search says Vegas has half the population the average NHL city has so who knows.

Nail Rat posted:So time's running out on "early November" which was the last estimate for a name for the Tentative Knights. They're supposed to be holding an event on 11/18 outside the arena so it'll probably be then.

Craptacular! posted:Blackhawks games here will be insane since the Vegas tourism industry and it's supporting industries (equipment manufacturing, hospitality services, etc) seems to be staffed with 60% ex-Chicagoans. Everyone from Chicago I've ever met here told me it's because they hated the snow and never wanted to see it again. Always made sense to me. But yeah, there are a lot of them.

Dumb questions: Since we have to take 30 guys and max roster size is 23, are guys going to get taken then cut or stashed right away? That seems lovely for those guys if so.

Also 5,000 jerseys is real dumb but I'm a sucker and will put my name down online. I work normal hours so I doubt I'll have a shot in-store tomorrow.

Craptacular! posted:Then it'll be a failure from the get-go, the business plan is for every game to feel like an away game in [Your Town Here]. I'm not sure what point you're really trying to make here, but "people who live here don't make enough money to support pro sports" seems like a wild exaggeration.
