Last night was pretty rowdy. I had a blast walking around the strip watching Knight fans celebrate.

Vegas has really embraced the Golden Knights and the Raiders. The immediate success of the Knights, and the mystique of the Raiders and popularity NFL has really helped.
Vegas had long desired a pro franchise. Almost overnight they are getting their third one. I can understand enthusiasm for yet another team isn’t anywhere close as to when the NHL and Raiders announced they were coming to Vegas.
Vegas is a boom or bust city. They’ve busted a couple of times in the last 15 years. First was the housing crash, then Covid. Asking a bunch of service industry and tourism employees to be taxed during uncertain economic times for a low rent MLB owner to get a new stadium is a big ask.

And rightly so. They've been good from their inception.

Noticed this in 2021. There are more golden knight plates on cars in that city than any other "hockey town" I've ever been to.
Buffalo is the ultimate small fan town for football. Sorry NOLA.
