They’re up early and working early.

Arena crews and security were getting music equipment and plaza gear ready for the spectacle of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final at T-Mobile Arena Saturday morning.

An interesting common threat between owners of both teams is that the Golden Knights’ Bill Foley and the Florida Panthers’ Vincent Viola are both U.S. Military Academy at West Point graduates.

Foley is class of 1967, while Viola is class of 1977.

The two West Pointers engaged in a friendly partnership to donate $100,000 to military causes. The owner of the team that wins the Stanley Cup will choose a Veterans Service Organization to accept the donation from the owner of the other club.

Six hours before the 5 PM start Saturday, tickets were listed at $400 each to get in, before fees and taxes, so figure another $100 on top of the $400.

Keep in mind, there are also tickets released by the league and the two teams that are extra tickets to be sold to the public.
