Las Vegas football

I for one would be totally shocked if a Vegas football team brought in "tens of thousands" of fans from a single city. That is probably stretch it greatly.

If tickets are available, they certainly will.

Do you have any desire to buy season tixs and re-sell when possible? Will Vegas folks buy into being Raiders? Just curious of the hometown support.

Unless the PSL is insane, my two friends and I are planning on buying season tickets. After fifty years of attending NY Giants games, I'm not about to switch teams. With that said, I have a fondness for the Raiders going back to the LaMonica, Blanda era. The only time I would root against them is if they play the Giants. We figure to sell a couple of games to offset the expenses. My partners are both New Yorkers, but are Jet fans and figure they will gradually become Raider first fans.

It'll definitely be interesting. There aren't many cities whose economy and population rise and fall as drastically as Las Vegas. Times right now are relatively good for employment and population growth- but as we've seen before that can turn on a dime. Like Tampa - most people who live in Vegas aren't from their originally so their patriotism to the sports franchises will be weak. Visitors are going to have to carry the ticket sales. It might work out. I'm far less optimistic about the NHL expansion. Hockey in Las Vegas...with like 80 home games a season. No way are they selling those tickets.

The Knights claim to be sold out for the season already. It's only forty home games, plus a few pre-season. I'm dubious myself, but time will tell.


I just looked. What they say is there is a waiting list for any sort of package plan and individual tickets will go on sale at a future date.
