The Vegas Bighorns will be the first new UFA team added since 2023, when the Houston Havoc joined the association.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This, despite the fact we have put a temporary moratorium on sports in Las Vegas. Nobody listens. Everyone thinks moving to Las Vegas is going to make miracles happen, as it did with the Vegas Golden Knights. Attention all sports: That\u2019s not a template. Yes, the Raiders only became a thing after moving, but these are flukes.<\/p>\n<p>Las Vegas is a very small market and there are already plenty of sports to go around. Don\u2019t get us started.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42402\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42402\" style=\"width: 845px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-42402 size-post-thumbnail-crop-845xAUTO\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" alt=\"\" width=\"845\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/vegas_bighorns2-845x563.jpg\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42402\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Take that, Las Vegas Desert Dogs, whatever sport that might be!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As Ultiworld notes, \u201cTo ultimate fans, this move may come as a surprise. Las Vegas did not send any club teams to the USA Ultimate series in 2024, and the city has only a small local disc organization. In 2023, Las Vegas Nuke competed in SoCal men\u2019s sectionals but did not advance past that stage. There are no nearby marquee college programs to draw from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the bright side, this won\u2019t be the worst-attended pro sport in Las Vegas. That distinction goes to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.majorleaguepickleball.net\/team\/las-vegas-night-owls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Las Vegas Night Owls<\/a>, a pickleball team we only realized exists three minutes ago.<\/p>\n<p>The Vegas Bighorns haven\u2019t said where they\u2019re playing yet, but it\u2019s expected they\u2019ll be part of the UFA\u2019s 2025 season. Tryouts are happening Feb. 1, 2024 and the team roster will be announced March 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Somebody see if Caitlin Clark\u2019s got any free time coming up.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/las-vegas-to-get-yet-another-pro-sports-team-vegas-bighorns-frisbee\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] By Scott Roeben, on December 18 2024 Oy, with the sports, already.
