We lazed around today, doing computer (administrivia, travel updates and blog updates) work.
It was a very windy day so we bundled up to walk from the condo to the T-Mobile Arena for a 7:30 Golden Knights hockey game.
T-Mobile Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena. Opened on April 6, 2016, it is the home arena of the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League (NHL). A joint venture between MGM Resorts International and Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), T-Mobile Arena is situated on the Las Vegas Strip behind the New York-New York and Park MGM casino hotels.

It is locally called The Fortress.
It is Vegas!
One of the few expansion franchises to experience immediate success, the Golden Knights qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs in their first four seasons and reached the Stanley Cup Finals in their first season. Their 13 playoff wins en route to the 2018 Stanley Cup Finals are the most for a team during their inaugural postseason run. In 2023, the club returned to the Stanley Cup Finals and won their first Stanley Cup championship, defeating the Florida Panthers in five games.
It soon filled to capacity.
The players enter the ice through a giant knight's helmet.
Outside the arena - Bliss Dance is a breathtaking, 40-foot-tall sculpture of a dancing woman, celebrating the strength of a woman who is both safe and present. The structure and scale of Bliss Dance was inspired by artist Marco Cochrane's first experience at Burning Man, an annual arts and culture event in Nevada's Black Rock Desert, where Bliss Dance later debuted. Most recently, Bliss Dance resided on San Francisco's Treasure Island as a public display before being refurbished and returned to the desert as a centerpiece of The Park's natural landscaping and Nevada-inspired design.
Wow. Impressive show!! Knights on ice!
ReplyDeleteAnd wow is that place packed! So nice to see (nothing for me, but if I think back of COVID-times, this is wonderful!).
Beautiful sculpture.
Thank you for sharing this!
Quite an arena.
