Yeah, I don't get the Canadian tourist angle. So are we hoping that 20,000 Flames, Oilers or Canucks fans make it down to Vegas for 2 games per season each? Will any Flames fans in Vegas at the time ever say "Hey, honey, the Las Vegas Stripper Poles are playing the Nashville Predators tonight, how about we catch that game, even though we don't really care about either team." Are we hoping that Las Vegas becomes the first ever sports franchise that can be successful without a dedicated fanbase?
This is a brutal idea and even worse than putting a team in Phoenix or Atlanta.
