News Article: VGK purchase AHL team from San Antonio, UPD BOG approved

[Vegan Knight]

Yeah, plus probably 1500 in fees and 380 in "arena improvement funds"

Hahaha yeah, I was like, oh fees! Right after I posted. They won't, they won't hesitate lol.

 

[LadyStanley]

Doing tickets through AXS, so there's all that headache with fees and such.


FWIW, the BOG approval is generally a rubber stamp.

Well, yeah they've already sent the emails and started collecting money.

 

[LadyStanley]

I am amused by how they announced sale on Twitter. Impulse shop much?

 

[Bart9349]

Is it the Orleans for the first 2 seasons?

Sounds like it.

I approve this message.

Only two seasons while they build the arena in Henderson.

They can't use gray with the silver, can they?

It seems they would have a shiny, cool gray color they call silver and take off the gray and gold. They would have to lean into the black, red and white more.

Possibly the same Golden Knights logo in silver? With the black circle an team name around it like the Rampage?

Possible to all the above.

They will probably use the VGK crossed swords as the shoulder badge.

Could do a "shield" in the shape of Nevada with the helmet superimposed.

Could do more of a anthropomorphic knight.

Lots of possibilities.

Ahhhh that's right, they probably could do something with a Nevada shape, good call!

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

I’m pretty excited. Hopefully I get accepted for tickets. Not sure how many deposits went down today or will go down and I know current season ticket holders will get priority, although I’m not sure if that’s a good idea if they’re looking to grow the game.
Don’t really have expectations for name/colors/jerseys.

Especially if they go with "Nevada" vs Las Vegas or Henderson as the location. (Think Iowa Wild, Texas Stars)

 

[BStinson]

Just deposited for a few. Does Orleans charge for parking?

They haven't before but you know.....they could now.

 

[IceNeophyte]

That's wrong. Andrews made a guess at Vegas as one of the options for where it could be.

Don't be shocked if it'll be in Salt Lake.

This one didn't age well!

 

[theslatcher]

This one didn't age well!

How so? The top part is factually correct. And the bottom part I never said it would be in Salt Lake, only that it shouldn't shock anybody if it would have been.

I'd say it aged pretty well considering that.

 

[CupInSIX]

You have to wonder if Seattle/AHL BOG were approached at all before they expanded to Palm Springs.
I guess that caught Foley by surprise in September.

Serious question...."Lifeguard Arena" I always envisioned as a CNA type facility. There's talk in press about that being the locale of the AHL team games. One article says construction hasn't begun yet. But construction on Lifeguard has already been underway. Rumors, none I could find in press, have been that they would build yet another Arena near Henderson International.....

You need a 6000-7000 seat arena along the lines of what Orleans offers. Is there space for such an arena and parking at the Downtown hendertucky site?

I heard Lifeguard Arena was too small and would have two sheets of ice so I don't know if there's any way they could change it to be the arena. It's supposed to open later this year so I can't see them having time to change it.

 

[GKG18]

Henderson International is not close to downtown Henderson.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Henderson International is not close to downtown Henderson.

That's the whole point of why I need to know. I live near Henderson International.

I should have said "yet another arena, this one near HI." I didn't mean there is already one in the works there.

 

[LadyStanley]

Hearing that the new arena would be near the M Resort.

Golden Knights’ new AHL team could be called Silver Knights

Foley confirms organization has trademarked "Silver Knights".

No confirmation beyond Orleans arena usage. (So still drawing board for arena?)

I heard Southern Highlands wanted their own version of downtown Summerlin near them, would the arena anchor that place? That's the border of west Henderson, right? Exactly next to Southern Highlands? That would probably be close enough for everyone to work together.

Oh, and didn't McKenzie report that Silver Knights was the second choice, and they only decided not long before the reveal? It makes sense they would have it trademarked, probably already have some designs also.

There's not nearly enough undeveloped land for either a mall or an arena in SH, much less both. Now lv Blvd plenty of land. Between M and the exec airport, plenty of land. North of Cactus near SH, plenty of land.

 

[KnishOfTheCrease]

If love it if they put it by The M. Nice 15 minute ride for me from the far southwest.
