Lights Soccer Team Holds Flash Ticket Sale to Celebrate Mayor Goodman’s Re-election Win

You have to hand it to the Las Vegas Lights FC soccer team — they can use any current event and parlay it into a ticket or game promotion.
Take Las Vegas Mayor Caroline Goodman’s re-election win Tuesday night to her third consecutive mayoral win. Goodman is a big fan of the Lights, so the second-year soccer team that plays at downtown Cashman Field is celebrating her re-election with a 24-hour flash ticket sale.
The details are that fans can buy a four-pack of tickets for $24 to the Lights’ next home match April 13, but the flash ticket promotion expires at 10:24 a.m. Thursday. Here’s the promotion the Lights send out Wednesday.
Goodman has been a big supporter of Lights owner Brett Lashbrook’s efforts to bring professional soccer to downtown. She had tried to work with private developers to build a subsidized soccer stadium in Symphony Park in downtown about four years ago in hopes of drawing a Major League Soccer team to Las Vegas. But MLS scratched Las Vegas from consideration for a team and the soccer stadium proposal fizzled out.
The Lights play in the United Soccer League — one tier below MLS. And Lashbrook hopes to expand the Cashman Field venue into a U-shaped facility to better surround the soccer field. But for now, the former Las Vegas 51s baseball park will remain the same for the Lights’ current 2019 season.
