LTS Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 I agree that something is likely to give in the coming years. Remember that Delaware North funded "think" project from a few years ago? Among other things, it envisioned fans' participating in spectator sports in virtual ways, etc. Take Twitch to the next level. Place cameras into all players helmets to allow spectators to watch the game from their favorite player perspective. Then allow them to jump into an arena chat group (think large scale 10,000) there they can scream and shot and have their voices piped into an arena sound system. Finally, replace the the space above the glass with large display panels that replicate seating and then put each persons avatar in that seat. The players think fans are there and everyone is watching from their favorite player camera. Charge different amounts to stream from a stars POV as opposed to the 4th line JAG. Anyone want to help me patent all that? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabresBillsFan Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Is us Vegas? Sorry Inkman. Yes Vegas as I live here but I’m hoping now with Buffalo finally getting #1 overall pick things can finally start to get better. Their are a ton of fellow Buffaloians here in Vegas and even though we are Sabres fans we all still cheer for the Knights. I know a ton of people here from all over the US that still has their beloved team but will cheer for the Knights when their team isn’t in the building. Call it crazy but Vegas is going nuts for this team. I can’t believe it honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm slowly losing my marbles (I'll post about it one drunken night) and this gets confusing. Uh, yeah. Haven't you been following this all season? Barely. Like my wife talking about politics.

Can't wait until this story goes away and they are just another team that has to deal with cap issues, draft their own pipeline and actually developing their own talent. Yeah, I said it.

SabresBillsFan Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Kings playoff games. Give me a break. Flyers, Bruins, and Kings fans among worst in the league especially Flyers fans.

Who needs fans who love their team having success? It's way better when everyone is just miserable about their team and attacks each other. They haven't had a chance to lose their life savings on scratch-offs. So, really, it's not like that. They are still winning the lottery right now.

A lot of older people play those, and older people are the wealthiest segment of society. I'm also not sure gambling is all about poor people trying to make money. There's a thrill there.
