Whippet13 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 4 hours ago, Copa said: Journalist Andrew Webster now reporting 45,000 tickets sold. Lower bowl looks pretty much sold out on the stadium site and new blocks are being opened upstairs. Certainly going to far and away be a record crowd for a RL game in the US. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 3 females too which is good to see. Any female referees in the the Women's game in the ERL good enough for Super League? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rocket Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 " exceeding all expectations" NRL draws 5000 to Vegas launch as crowd hopes soar | The West Australian "As ticket sales went beyond 40,000 for the match on Thursday (Friday AEDT), 5000 fans converged in downtown Las Vegas to meet with players. "The crowds prompted Latrell Mitchell and other stars to compare the build-up to that of NRL grand final week, with the night far outranking any crowd for non-match-day events in Australia." Las Vegas TV networks covered the night, while there was a smattering of Americans in attendance in the crowd. "It's round one, but it feels like a grand final at the moment," Mitchell said, adding he wanted to turn Allegiant Stadium into "Trellegiant Stadium". "It's a great turnout, we appreciate it. This is why we love the game." Mitchell was not alone in his summation. Brisbane captain Adam Reynolds also compared the vibe to a grand-final week where Broncos players were treated as rock stars last year, as did Australian captain James Tedesco. NRL fan events in grand final week usually attract closer to the 1000-person mark, and none has matched the atmosphere at Fremont Street on Thursday night. Nearly 3000 fans have also travelled from England. Get a Pommy team over there, that number might be 10 000. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copa Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 To compare with a relatively recent soccer match at the same stadium. AC Milan vs Barcelona https://www.espn.com/soccer/report/_/gameId/669002 Allegiant Stadium 1:00 PM, August 2, 2023Coverage: ESPN/ESPNDP/ESPN+ Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Attendance: 38 986 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are serious about ‘cracking’ the US then a joint approach from SL and the NRL could work well. Adding English teams to the event would definitely add thousands to the crowd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
