|
To be fair, the numbers in Nevada have never been particularly bad, and I believe they have less cases than Alberta right now. They're headed in to their low tourist season anyhow (because it's miserably hot there in the summer) and no one can go there from out of country, so even though it's reopen, it's not likely to be jam-packed. If the NHL is able to maintain their bubble, then they'll be alright.
My biggest concern there would be around whether they can maintain their ice with two games a day in +50 Celsius heat. At least it's dry there. It's tougher in humid areas, because the humidity wreaks havoc. That could be an issue even in Toronto mid-summer.
|
Nevada has 2,671 active cases with a population of 3M. 71% of their cases are in the region Las Vegas is in. So definitely more active than AB. Not terrible, but more and the business is ramping up now with more things opening every day. Can be sure there will be lots of fun being had with crowds by July.
Bubble maintaining will be and interesting problem to solve. Still need to eat, still need to be entertained. I don't think avoiding all overlap with the general population is possible.

I stand corrected. Was looking at the wrong spot apparently!
Saw a point by Jim Matheson that makes a lot of sense (I know, crazy, eh?) He pointed out that Sportsnet is based in Toronto which might weigh in to the decision. That makes a ton of sense. Most of the top talent they'd be using on the broadcasts are there as well, so they wouldn't have to put people up for 2-3 months.
It does make sense that Sportsnet (and NBC) would be in Bettman's ear about where they want the games to be played.

I worked for a Sask video production company for a few years that produced a lot of live events. We were the company that worked alongside TSN and Sportsnet when there were big events in Sask like the Mem Cup, curling, etc
I put in a couple of texts to contacts I had still have at each and they reiterated what you say about TO. My friend at SN also mentioned that they are looking at doing some new camera angles and such that arent possible with fans in the stands. This is MUCH easier to do when you are in your "home" city as a production company.
As far as Vegas goes they both said the same thing, the rink there was built knowing it would have to deal with warmer temps. Without fans in the stands both thought that the ice wouldnt be an issue.
A couple other things that both said independently;
- Both said that 99% they would bet it would be TO and Vegas.
- Vegas is seen as a top pick because of a number of factors but the access to free hotels is huge. They also said that each hotel have a lot of restaurants making it much easier to keep players in a bubble and still have choices to eat.
- Arrangements are being made to close off a different restaurant nightly for team dinners so they could come out of their rooms, eat as a group and go back without breaking the bubble
- the league is more worried about non-team personnel (TV broadcast crew, reporters from around NA, etc) going AWOL and causing an issue in Vegas than they are the players.
- Sportsnet has already started asking staff if they would be willing to work in in a Vegas bubble for a couple months
- there is a good chance that the press corps will be invited to site in the stands as apposed to up top if they so choose. (I think this would be weird, especially with them spaced out, just sitting quietly. Then again I suppose it would just look like a Coyotes home game....)
- rumor mill in the office is that they will be asked to sign some sort of agreement not to break the bubble, numerous punishments including loss of job being tossed around, also a rumor they will make serious extra pay for the hassle.
Neither was "in the know" enough for concrete info but this is what I was told.
