I definitely will, unless Trump doesn't let me into the country anymore because I'm brown.

It's almost as if different people want different things in life!

True enough, there are some things I will never understand and marriage is one them(marriage can't be too too bad, my parents did get married).

I won't increase my frequency of going to Vegas. I'll go the same amount of times, and I'll probably check out who is playing when I'm there and go to the game if there is a player or players that I want to see play.

The only thing that changes is I'll try to change a trip for when the Flames are playing there.

I'm also not a Weekend Vegas Warrior. I usually go Sunday to Thursday, or if I'm there for a conference, Sunday to Sunday.

I don't think it's going to make a difference for most Canadians because it's easy to see the NHL in Canada. When the Raiders move there that will make a difference as it's going to make it much easier for the avaerage Canadian to attend an NFL game.

If you tell the trip advisor, who you are, maybe they throw the wall in the travel package.

Not sure about that, pretty easy, and inexpensive to get to Seattle to see an NFL game.

Direct flights are about $300.

First of all you are talking Calgary to Seattle flight costs but this is a question regarding Canadians including eastern Canada. Second of all have you ever tried to get tickets to a ####hawks game? The flight is the cheap part. Casinos will package games and I don't expect nearly the high prices compared to Seattle which is football crazy right now.

You must be very young. People always talk about what you can't do once you're married, but they never talk about the benefits. I guess those benefits aren't as sexy as having a debauchery filled weekend in Vegas, but they add an incredible amount of value to your life. Just for example, married men live quite a bit longer than single men. Don't get married just to get married, but if you're with someone for a long time that you can imagine marrying and having kids with, just do it and stop being so millennial about it.

Thanks for the advice, if someone does come in my life I will marry, if not then a debauchery filled weekend in Vegas

I go to at least one game a year down there. I am familiar with the process. Unless you are trying to see the 49ers (now maybe Cardinals), Packers, or Pats, tickets aren't that hard to come by. We paid $150 US for decent tickets last time I was there. Not out of line value wise, for the experience.

Granted nice accommodations don't come cheap in Seattle, but not any more than something equivalent in Vegas.

Eastern Canada has easy access to Buffalo, and Detroit, no real issues getting to either.

####hawks is a term of endearment reserved for respected division rivals, the clown-shoe Raiders don't get to use it.

Since a lot more average Canadians live east of here, I'd think there's easier options for a lot of Canadians wanting to watch NFL.

Sounds like a good vacation. Hit the casino up, watch a UFC fight, catch a Flames away game vs the Black Knights.

Like EE I am a big Raider fan and if the Raiders relocate to Vegas I will go out of my way to go there to catch a Raider home game and if possible go to an NHL game. I'm not much of a gambler so Vegas had little if no allure to me. Now with NHL it has grown , however with NFL I would most definitely go to see those pro sports and go track drive super cars and go to that range that lets you fire machine guns it would be a perfect " bucket list" trip.

Ha ha ha nothing better than a smack talking ####hawks fan. Raiders have a right to call an ex-AFC West doormat team anything we want as they supplied Raiders fans many timeless highlights like Bo Jackson running over Brian Bosworth. That said I have a sneaking suspicion you didn't even know who played for the Seahwaks that decade seeing Seattle is home to the biggest bunch of bandwagon fans in the continent.
