Wigan Warriors had about 8,000 fan at the Nou Camp Barcelona for the game versus Catalan Dragons back in 2018 , we had a fantastic weekend. Only a 2 hour flight there though , might get around a thousand doing the Vegas trip due to cost and distance. Don’t think whoever is organising the match in Vegas gives two fucks about the fans though just tv viewing figures . Same old crap just like FIFA and UEFA with the football !

If City were to play a pre season game in LasVegas, it would do very well indeed. City playing anywhere does well. Why don’t you think Vegas would be any different?I'm just surprised about the venue.
Why not NY or other big city on the East Coast where millions of people live within an hour of the stadium?
There is a reason why City have played in the US many times and have not played in Vegas.
Maybe many will watch on TV but will look shit if the stadium is half empty or less

It's a very transient city.If City were to play a pre season game in LasVegas, it would do very well indeed. City playing anywhere does well. Why don’t you think Vegas would be any different?
600,000 live there.
Compared to more densely populated areas City normally play in like NY / Miami / Houston etc. And these places have outlying towns and cities within an hour radius. Vegas has nothing like that around.
If playing Real fair enough it would be packed to the rafters but mostly watching Madrid.
I''ll see when City play Barca in Orlando this month what the crowd split roughly is in a 60,000 stadium

And it's no more than this, an excuse, or a chance to fill the coffers, or get the coffers half fulll.I'm in Wigan and the Warriors supporters in my local (which is basically the entire pub) thought this was a great idea. An excuse to go to Vegas
