VGK game. I took my daughter, part of her Christmas present, tickets courtesy of Mastiff. Thank you so much.
Glad they won and the flurry of goals was fantastic. Happy to see my daughter so into it.
Comparing …. Obviously VGK wins hands down with product, with atmosphere, experience … with everything. They really do a bang up job. Loved every second of it.
Been awhile since I’ve been at a sporting event where it didn’t feel like TAPS would have been the appropriate house music.
Was pleasantly surprised that in and out was so much easier than I expected. Not the concourse, that’s absolutely packed, but the drive to and from and the parking situation. Easy.
Comparing it back to the heyday of Rebel hoops. Easier to get in and out of TMobile. Atmosphere - I’d give it to the Rebels believe it or not. Packed house with UNLV vs VGK, edge Rebels … then again, I don’t have a reference point for this particular Knights game…. VGK has the better show/presentation with the theatrics, but given the time in history, the Rebel pre-game and light show was considered among the best around.
Then again, I’m more vested with UNLV, maybe the bias is too strong with me when comparing what we used to do to what the VGK is now.
I was also surprised that the Mack feels chillier than an ice arena but lack of bodies can do that, I suppose.
Fun, fun night, would have been better if I was pre-primed with adrenaline from a UNLV upset vs SDSU but it just wasn’t meant to be.
Posted below that I refused to bail out work today even though they were desperate (again). This was a big reason. I had this planned and it’s been difficult as hell to plan things with her hours and my hours (and so many extra hours …. And so many hours literally last second bailouts) … and I didn’t say anything because ever since my kids have been born, whether it’s vacations or extended outings, my paranoid ass doesn’t say that I won’t be home at certain hours … won’t mention it online, just don’t trust people and I’ve always been the cautious type. Don’t want to announce vulnerabilities.
Thanks again, Bull, you helped make a little girls Christmas great.
