Up over 8,000 deposits now...

The group attempting to bring a National Hockey League expansion franchise to Las Vegas hit another milestone in their season-ticket deposit drive.

Hockey Vision Las Vegas announced today deposits for more than 8,000 season tickets have been secured since the campaign launched Feb. 10. They are aiming for deposit money for 10,000 season tickets.

“This announcement is great news,” said Bill Foley, the Florida businessman who heads Hockey Vision Las Vegas, in a statement. “The goal of the season ticket drive is to demonstrate the long-term viability of an NHL franchise in Las Vegas. Securing more than 8,000 season ticket deposits – in less than one month – helps demonstrate that Las Vegas wants hockey. There is significant momentum in this campaign and we are looking forward to the day we can announce that we have hit our goal.”

Woot! What a great excuse to see a Caps' road game this will be. I'm excited for hockey in Vegas.

Does anyone have any idea what the standard number of season ticket holders is? Or what the low end of the league is?

I know the Caps keep their season ticket holder level at about 12,000, that keeps about 6,000 seats open per game for individual sale which they make a higher margin on.

And free drinks, as long as you give said watress a buck tip. And as long as you are gambling, which leads to...

IPads (or similar) at every seat so you can bet on the game, during the game. The prop bet possibilities are endless.

Maybe in arena appraisers that can appraise jewelry so bets can be made using them?

The Inter-concourse? No, needs a sponsor.

Prostitution is illegal in Clark County.

Instead they've just the taxi drivers in the concourse who are all willing to drive you somewhere other than your hotel.

/Seriously. It's kinda annoying.
