NBA or MLB? Which is next to move a franchise to Vegas?

[magaman]

NHL is playing there now, soon the NFL as well. Obviously this trend will continue

So If you have a guess what team will move, or which league will make room for an expansion team first sound off here.

With the hockey stadium already there, they are NBA ready. But the commissioners aren't too fond of expansion teams. I could see the Sacramento Kings moving to Las Vegas or maybe the Clippers. Clippers should of moved to the Honda Center a long time ago. They could of been what the Angels are to Los Doyers. As mentioned when it comes to MLB they wouldn't just bring in one expansion team they would have to bring in two. But there's a better chance of the Oakland A's or Tampa Bay Rays relocating to Las Vegas.

Im actually surprised the NHL team has done so well, thought it would be a bustS

Sure helps when the Knights are one of the top teams though!

I don't think this counts as a sport but heard the WNBA is about to put a team out here.

They have had a miracle season, have to wait a year or 2 when they start losing.
Casinos bail them out by eating a lot of tickets for them to make the sales look better than they are.
They are already jacking up prices on season ticket holders for next season
Reason that season ticket sales are in such high demand is because of the resale value on the street for these tickets.
Out of towners overpaying heaps when they come visit and want to see their team play.

What is your point? You make no sense. Big business buys tix to sporting events in every big city. Big business happens to be casinos in Vegas.

I love it that he Knights are doing well.

Who wouldn’t want to be able to goto a professional sporting event while on Vegas?

It’s just another thing to do there.

Would say NBA because of the T-Mobile Arena already being there, so all you would need to do is bring in a basketball court and some hoops. I know there's plenty of warm places around the country during the summer, but I doubt playing in 100+ degree weather outdoors on a consistent basis would be desirable for a baseball team to move or expand there.

Las Vegas Kings would fit very well if Sacramento wanted to move since you could market the name in different ways associating it with Vegas (poker/blackjack/high roller lifestyle, etc).

My point was to wait until they start losing, see how much support they get.....You stupid fuk

Agree
NBA would be the best way
