What’s the point of having 3 catchers on the 26 man if you’re not making that move?

Could that be because of the people that come there from miserable winter climes and know a bit of hockey….. baseball in the summer in Las Vegas…. maybe not so much 

Golden Knights season ticket sales are capped at 14000 and there's a waiting list. Mostly locals at LGK games

The hockey team basically sells out every game in half the number of games.  It seems like everyone says they won't draw.  One thing you have is the visiting team's fans will go there, they may be more casual but they do follow their teams.

Is Vegas a real draw for opposing fans? I’m not so sure. The stadium is right on the strip by and it’s very expensive staying on the strip now. Aria is $400+ a night. MGM Grand is close to that amount. I am staying at the Wynn in September and it made me sick to my stomach booking that for around $700 a night.

Wonder what the capacity is for a mid 2020s new ballpark? They probably shouldn’t go much higher than 30k. I just don’t think they will have the demand to fill it most days in the summer. Vegas is already pricing out the vast majority of people for vacation. 

It's a big country (terrible song) it will fill most nights.

Unless Caesar's is one of your clients, do the beancounters where you work ask any questions about why you're rubbing elbows with the high rollers at breakfast?  😁

Amazon is my primary client and they are Bougee.

That is what the marketing folks are telling them, so we will see.  I would think they aren't doing this blindly, there has to be some data saying they will get fans.

...and the hockey team has been towards the top most years

That’s being kind. The NHL rigged the expansion draft to make sure they’d be a cup contender in year 1. When the Wild and Blue Jackets were expansion teams we got literal scraps from active rosters.

Despite his best efforts, Corey could not jinx Bradley out of his immaculate inning

Lol I was thinking the same thing. 

Then I expected a challenge on the 9th pitch.

The hockey team also draws well.

I think they're a lock to draw well.

I guess in 10 years we'll know 

The hockey team has won since season one.  Helps a lot.

Since I posted a picture of the new Vegas stadium, here is one with the new KC stadium...COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DESIGN...obviously outdoor https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/photos-royals-release-new-renderings-of-proposed-stadium-at-crown-center/ar-AA2aoGOq?ocid=BingNewsSerp

If/when that’s built I would make a road trip to see that ballpark. I don’t mind their existing stadium either but I understand it’s old and dated at this point
