Some guesswork from Michael chammas


Gotta think superleague teams are playing a part in this

Australian TV will crack the shits with that schedule. Vegas, HK and Dubai are the only money makers for them.

Is Vegas sustainable yet?

Is Vegas sustainable yet?

What’s your definition of “sustainable”?

It didn’t lose any money last year and made a modest profit.

This story is off-season media fodder …playing 2 games in Vegas will continue … the others mentioned here are a bit of a pipe dream particularly for 2027.

hawaii has a 15k stadium with artificial turf ..they supposedly are starting on a new 20k stadium next year which will be ready for 2029..

who are the countries that have offered money for the games ? How much ?
