The Las Vegas Thread

[Miller was a legend]

It is the cringiest cringfeast I’ve ever cringed at

 

[Harry O]

These two games will be viewed by 39 trillion people from around the universe

The triggered turd is here

Well-played sir - straight in with the bullish, toxic overreaction from someone with no sense of humour.

That’s your problem. I’m a laugh a minute!

Jesus Vonny calm down before ya flood the stadium out.

I said this years ago, WCC would be by far the easiest game to take internationally…

we are already fly a team to the other side of the world, so meeting in the middle shouldnt be an issue. We could sell it as the biggest club rugby match of the year (comparision to the Superbowl) and it would not be at all disruptive to any of the competition.

give it to a promoter and pick a different US/european city each year depending of where we might get a decent crowd. We dont need to conquer the market, just be the gimmick of the week and aim for 20k crowd

There's a lot of empty seats in that sell-out crowd...
They must be out back queueing for a pie or buying doubles.

No one claimed a sell out. The NRL said they’d sold 40,000 tickets which is way more than I expected. Allegiant holds over 60 thousand.

The stadium is half full or half empty depending on your piont of view.

Spain would be a great place, they got 35k to a Super League game.

It's close enough for poms to travel.

The voices in Harry's head did.

Just heard that every ticket has almost gonesky

Yeah, I talk to some Americans on a music forum. I’ve got 3 that have promised to watch it on TV.
Another guy is in Vegas for a concert and NASCAR chirped in with the weather report and “at least that won’t stop the NASCAR”. Couldn’t resist chipping back that seeing as it is in an enclosed stadium it won’t be stopping the NRL either.

From his report though, I’d say it will affect the walk ups. If you aren’t rusted on or with an expensive ticket you might be tempted to give it a miss

That was Barcelona?
Maybe 2 NRL teams plus ESL Catalans Vs Someone.

I’d go, or at least try to.

You need to change the ESL season start date for it to be possible

How much narrower is the field?

5 metres. 2.5 metres on each side
I believe

 

[taste2taste]

The voices in Harry's head did.

He also said the the tv audience will be 1 trillion.

How is that even possible?

Me thinks it might be sarcasm ?

Hence why I said the voices in his head....

The biggest difference is people are flying into this game expecting to see a genuine game

You can't say the same about the WCC
