Golden Knights Inviting Fans To Dress In Costumes For Halloween Game Thursday
By Alan Snel of LVSportsBiz.com
Well, this should be interesting.
You didn’t think you would sneak Halloween on a home game night past the Vegas Golden Knights after the players already celebrated.
The Montreal Canadiens are visiting Las Vegas Thursday, which is Halloween (or better known as just another day at the Fremont Street Experience.)
This being Las Vegas, where Anything Goes is the creative standard for Sin City and the Golden Knights’ pregame show, the folks down at VGK’s Summerlin headquarters had to offer up some guidelines.
After advising the Las Vegas VGK Faithful that fans are “encouraged to dress up to celebrate Halloween,” the NHL team provided what is “allowed” and what is “prohibited” and naturally there are more bullet points in the prohibited column than the allowed ones. Straight from the Golden Knights press release (note that “foam firearm-type items will NOT be allowed”):
ALLOWED:
- Face painting
- Costumes (unless vulgar or hazardous)
PROHIBITED:
- Masks (Masks can be worn while fans are in their seats, but may not be worn while walking the venue)
- Helmets (unless made of foam or for medical reasons)
- Weapons of any kind (unless made of foam; foam firearm-type items will NOT be allowed)
- Costumes with spikes or points (unless made of foam)
- Anything that would be considered vulgar
Don’t forget, Dia de Muertos will be celebrated at Saturday’s Golden Knights-Winnipeg Jets game. Activations will include:
- Face painting
- Mariachi band participation in the March to the Fortress and throughout the game
- Special warm-up jerseys worn by VGK players to be sold
- Exclusive Día de Muertos-themed merchandise
