Sounds cool if they pull it off. But it takes a lot of man power to pull something like this off. With all the lockdowns this winter not so sure it's a good idea.

Sounds like there will not be fans allowed, which will help with the lockdown concerns. Also, they're going to play on the Nevada side (just across the state line), so the lockdown rules won't be as stringent as in CA. Overall, I think it's a very neat, outside-the-box idea.

Interesting. I think being outdoors with no crowd is safer than in a normal arena. But I would've thought an outdoor game would require more expense & manpower. But maybe they're thinking it's going to be a television event that would make it worth it. I hope it works out.
