The Las Vegas Thread

I do feel like if it's done right it can be a niche little thing on the Vegas calendar.

Got to make sure you don't fatigue fans. I could see myself doing this once every 4 years not annually so they'll need to mix the sides up.

RL needs more events, We waste public holidays with no games some time. So I agree

Not sure what buy in from the locals in US they need, To consider it a success. That is the key to making it a longer term

If we could get it like a quarter as popular as the Hong Kong Sevens we'd get somewhere.

Yep something like that, That should flow on locally and that makes it more viable for NRL

Hong Kong Sevens was heaps fun.

Might even go when they move it to the new stadium at Kai Tak.

American mates on the ground in Vegas were surprised that so many Aussies were in town for this. Said that Bunnies fans were most represented over the last couple of days. They were also getting around the live game betting.

Crowd wise it’s been a success and I’m sure it’s got some interest in the US

 

[Foreign Legion]

Have they announced the Crowd numbers?

 

[Foreign Legion]

40,746 crowd

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

any flights to continental europe would be under 4 hours and any flights to eastern usa would be about 6.

It would rule out any games in Asia, but for the Super league club these wouldnt be any harder than a Melbourne-Townsville game

The last point is the key. What are the TV numbers?

The NFL should bring an double header to sydney, it might last a week lmfao

As I said lets see how the teams back up, for both the WCC and Vegas the NRL side has 2 weeks to get over the travel.

ESL is straight back into it

Two great games. Two great advertisements for the game. Players and officials have done their bit. The US ratings will be interesting but I have no idea what a pass mark would be.

Fair f**ks to the NRL. Looks like this event has been pulled off quite well.

I'll be interested to see if we're able to build on the novelty of the initial event next year. That'll be the biggest test.
